Multi-Group Classification Using Interval Linea rProgramming
Authors
Abstract:
Among various statistical and data mining discriminant analysis proposed so far for group classification, linear programming discriminant analysis has recently attracted the researchers’ interest. This study evaluates multi-group discriminant linear programming (MDLP) for classification problems against well-known methods such as neural networks and support vector machine. MDLP is less complicated as compared to other methods and does not suffer from having local optima. This study also proposes a fuzzy Delphi method to select and gather the required data, when databases suffer from deficient data. In addition, to absorb the uncertainty infused to collecting data, interval MDLP (IMDLP) is developed. The results show that the performance of MDLP and specially IMDLP is better than conventional classification methods with respect to correct classification, at least for small and medium-size datasets.

Solving robot selection problem by a new interval-valued hesitant fuzzy multi-attributes group decision method
Selecting the most suitable robot among their wide range of specifications and capabilities is an important issue to perform the hazardous and repetitive jobs. Companies should take into consideration powerful group decision-making (GDM) methods to evaluate the candidates or potential robots versus the selected attributes (criteria). In this study, a new GDM method is proposed by utilizi...

Since most real-world applications of classification learning involve continuous-valued attributes, properly addressing the discretization process is an important problem. This paper addresses the use of the entropy minimization heuristic for discretizing the range of a continuous-valued attribute into multiple intervals. We briefly present theoretical evidence for the appropriateness of this h...

In this paper, we investigate a new method to handle multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems based on combined ranking value under interval type-2 fuzzy environment, in which all the attribute values provided by experts take the form of interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs). We first introduce some basic concepts and related operational laws on IT2FSs. Then, we put forward three...
