What is Classification Analysis

Chapter 136
Encyclopedia of Business Analytics and Optimization
Constructing classification or discriminant functions to separate objects in two or more classes using variables measuring the characteristics of the objects and assigning new objects to the classes by evaluating the values of the variables measuring the objects using the constructed classification or discriminant functions.

Abstract
Mathematical programming models for discriminant and classification analysis are presented. Specifically, linear programming and mixed integer programming approaches are discussed. For each approach, two-class classification models and multi-class classification models are discussed. The emphasis is on the formulations of these mathematical programming models rather than on their performances. Two illustrative examples, one for two-class and the other for multi-class classification, are used to demonstrate the formulations of these mathematical programming models. An example is used to demonstrate the formulation after a mathematical programming model is presented.
