Abstract
Ordinal classification problemswithmonotonicity constraints (also referred to as multicriteria classification problems) often appear in real-life applications, however they are considered relatively less frequently in theoretical studies than regular classification problems. We introduce a rule induction algorithm based on forward stagewise additive modeling that is tailored for this type of problems. The algorithm monotonizes the dataset (excludes highly inconsistent objects) using Dominance-based Rough Set Approach and generates monotone rules. Experimental results indicate that taking into account the knowledge about order and monotonicity constraints in the classifier can improve the prediction accuracy.
