Discovery of Fuzzy Hierarchical Association Rules

چکیده
A number of techniques have been developed to turn data into useful knowledge. Most of the algorithms in data mining find association rules among transactions using binary values and at single concept level. However it will be more exciting to discover hierarchical association rules for decision makers. In this work we have integrated association rule mining with fuzzy set theory and hierarchy. We have proposed an algorithm to discover hierarchical fuzzy association rules. We have used different minimum support and membership functions at each level of hierarchy. We have also used a predefined taxonomy for multilevel of hierarchy.

Discovering Multi-Level Association Rules using Fuzzy Hierarchies
In this paper, Fuzzy concept hierarchies are used for multi-level association rule mining from large datasets via Attribute-Oriented Induction approach [1]. In this the process of fuzzy hierarchical induction approach is used and extends it with two new characteristics which improve applicability of the original approach in data mining. The proposed drilling-down approach of fuzzy induction mod...
متن کاملA Distributed Algorithm for Mining Fuzzy Association Rules
Data mining, also known as knowledge discovery in databases, is the process of discovery potentially useful, hidden knowledge or relations among data from large databases. An important topic in data mining research is concerned with the discovery of association rules. The majority of databases are distributed nowadays. In this paper is presented an algorithm for mining fuzzy association rules f...
متن کاملDeveloping a Course Recommender by Combining Clustering and Fuzzy Association Rules
Each semester, students go through the process of selecting appropriate courses. It is difficult to find information about each course and ultimately make decisions. The objective of this paper is to design a course recommender model which takes student characteristics into account to recommend appropriate courses. The model uses clustering to identify students with similar interests and skills...
متن کاملMining Fuzzy Association Rules on Has-A and Is-A Hierarchical Structures
Preliminary studies on data mining focus on finding association rules from transaction databases containing items without relationships among them. However, relationships among items often exist in real applications. Most of the previous works only concern about Is-A hierarchy. In this paper, hierarchical relationships include a Has-A hierarchy and multiple Is-A hierarchies are discussed. The p...
متن کاملThe Fuzzy Frequent Pattern Tree
A significant data mining issue is the effective discovery of association rules. The extraction of association rules faces the problem of the combinatorial explosion of the search space, and the loss of information by the discretization of values. The first problem is confronted effectively by the Frequent Pattern Tree approach of [10]. This approach avoids the candidate generation phase of Apr...
