This chapter provides an overview of a series of multiple criteria optimization-based data mining methods, which utilize multiple criteria programming (MCP) to solve data mining problems, and outlines some research challenges and opportunities for the data mining community. To achieve these goals, this chapter first introduces the basic notions and mathematical formulations for multiple criteria optimization-based classification models, including the multiple criteria linear programming model, multiple criteria quadratic programming model, and multiple criteria fuzzy linear programming model. Then it presents the real-life applications of these models in credit card scoring management, HIV-1 associated dementia (HAD) neuronal dam-age and dropout, and network intrusion detection. Finally, the chapter discusses research challenges and opportunities.

Due to the flexibility of multi-criteria optimization, Regularized Multiple Criteria Linear Programming (RMCLP) has received attention in decision support systems. Numerous theoretical and empirical studies have demonstrated that RMCLP is effective and efficient in classifying large scale data sets. However, a possible limitation of RMCLP is poor interpretability and low comprehensibility for end users and experts. This deficiency has limited RMCLP’s use in many real-world applications where both accuracy and transparency of decision making are required, such as in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Credit Card Portfolio Management. In this paper, the authors present a clustering based rule extraction method to extract explainable and understandable rules from the RMCLP model. Experiments on both synthetic and real world data sets demonstrate that this rule extraction method can effectively extract explicit decision rules from RMCLP with only a small compromise in performance.

Data mining becomes a cutting-edge information technology tool in today's competitive business world. It helps the company discover previously unknown, valid, and actionable information from various and large databases for crucial business decisions. This paper provides a promising approach of data mining to classify the credit cardholders' behavior through multiple criteria linear programming. After reviewing the history of linear discriminant analyses, we will describe first a model for classifying two-group (e.g. bad or good) credit cardholder behaviors, and then a three-group (e.g. bad, normal, or good) credit model. Besides the discussion of the modeling structure, we will utilize the well-known commercial software package SAS to implement this technology by using a real-life credit card data warehouse. A number of potential business and financial applications will be finally summarized.
