This text discusses an alternative approach to the classification problem following the decision support orientation of multicriteria decision aid. It reviews research on the development of classification methods, investigating the corresponding model development procedures, and provides a thorough analysis of their performance both in experimental situations and real-world problems from the field of finance.
