	abstract =	{The concept of rejection is extended to that of
	class-selective rejection. That is, when an input pattern cannot be
	reliably assigned to one of the $N$ classes in a $N$-class problem, it
	is assigned to a subset of classes that are most likely to issue the
	pattern, instead of simply being rejected. First, a new optimality
	criterion is appropriately defined to accommodate the newly introduced
	decision outcomes. Then, a new decision rule is proposed and its
	optimality proven.  Various upper-bounds of error rate are obtained.
	Next, an example is provided to illustrate various aspects of the
	optimum decision rule.  Finally, the implications of the new decision
	rule are discussed.},
