Abstract

The purpose of this study is to maximize the area under Receiver Operating Characteristic curve for binary classi cation problems using a scoring-based mixed integer linear programming formulation. We investigate exact approaches using a reformulation, combinatorial Benders cuts, and heuristic bounding methods. Our study
presents computational results on benchmark datasets and paves the way for future studies on scoring-based approaches.
