Polyhedral conic classifiers, compared to support vector machines, stand out for their success while keeping simplicity. In these classifiers, a conic function with a vertex point is used. A carefully chosen vertex point provides compact decision boundaries for positive samples that are clustered together. In cases where positive data belonging to the same class are clustered in different regions, a single classifier is not enough, and more than one classifier is needed. In this study, a novel multicenter polyhedral conic classifier (MCPCC) is developed to use only one classifier to classify positive data clustered in different regions. Experiments are performed using proposed method and related methods for comparison. In the results, it is demonstrated that the new MCPCC method gives successful and promising results.
