Abstract

Most of the classification models assume, in a direct or indirect way, the possibility of a representation of the object to be classified within a good properties space, in which one is able to define some distances. Quite often this representation, which usually is the base of intuitive arguments made by the decision maker, is elaborated from a systematic comparison between different available options. The target of this article is to model a classification problem in the case that a comparative analysis is an essential part of the available information. This will be accomplished by using a description of the option set quality.
