Mining Clusters with Association Rules
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a method for extracting clusters in a population of customers, where the only information available is the list of products bought by the individual clients. We use association rules having high conndence to construct a hierarchical sequence of clusters. A speciic metric is introduced for measuring the quality of the resulting clusterings. Practical consequences are discussed in view of some experiments on real life datasets.

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a relatively new data oriented approach to evaluate performance of a set of peer entities called decision-making units (DMUs) that convert multiple inputs into multiple outputs. Within a relative limited period, DEA has been converted into a strong quantitative and analytical tool to measure and evaluate performance. In an article written by Toloo et al. (2009...
