In many applications of data mining we know beforehand that the response variable should be increasing (or decreasing) in the attributes. Such relations between response and attrib...
In classification with monotonicity constraints, it is assumed that the class label should increase with increasing values on the attributes. In this paper we aim at formalizing ...
Abstract. In this paper, first we introduce minimal and closed monotone DNF formulas as extensions of maximal and closed itemsets. Next, by incorporating the algorithm dnf cover d...
We shall give simpler proofs of some lower bounds on monotone computations. We describe a simple condition on combinatorial structures, such that the rank of the matrix associated...
In this paper we survey the basic features of state-of-the-art branch-and-cut algorithms for the solution of general mixed integer programming problems. In particular we focus on p...
