Abstract
In this chapter, a new multi criteria classification technique is presented. This method is a developed/advanced UTilites Additives DIScriminantes (UTADIS) method which applies a polynomial function as its utility function for each attribute rather than a piecewise linear approximation. The method, named P-UTADIS, is applied for both nominal and ordinal group and by calculating coefficients of polynomials, threshold limits of classes and weights of attributes, tends to minimize the classification errors. Unknown parameters of a classification problem are estimated through a hybrid algorithm including Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The results of implementing P-UTADIS on different data sets and comparing them with some other previous methods indicate the high efficiency of P-UTADIS.
Keywords: Classification, Genetic algorithm, PSO algorithm, UTADIS method, Utility function.
