Abstract

Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (DRSA) has been proposed for multi-criteria classification problems in order to handle inconsistencies in the input information with respect to the dominance principle. The end result of DRSA is a decision rule model of Decision Maker preferences. In this paper, we consider an additive function model resulting from dominance-based rough approximations. The presented approach is similar to UTA and UTADIS methods. However, we define a goal function of the optimization problem in a similar way as it is done in Support Vector Machines (SVM). The problem may also be defined as the one of searching for linear value functions in a transformed feature space obtained by exhaustive binarization of criteria.
