Integrating Classification and Association Rules

چکیده
In recent years, extensive research has been carried out by focusing on association rules to build more accurate classifiers. These integrated approaches mainly focus on a limited subset of association rules, i.e. those rules where the consequent of the rule is restricted to the classification class attribute. This paper aims to contribute to this integrated framework by adapting the CBA (Classification Based on Associations) algorithm. CBA was adapted by coupling it with another measurement of the quality of association rules: i.e. intensity of implication. The new algorithm has been implemented and empirically tested on an authentic financial dataset for purposes of bankruptcy prediction. We validated our results with an association ruleset, with C4.5, with original CBA and with CART by statistically comparing its performance via the area under the ROC-curve. The adapted CBA algorithm presented in this paper proved to generate significantly better results than the other classifiers at the 5% level of significance.

CRNN: Integrating Classification Rule and Neural Network
Association classification has been an important type of the rule based classification. A variety of approaches have been proposed to build a classifier based on classification rules. In the prediction stage of the extant approaches, most of the existing association classifiers use the ensemble quality measurement of each rule in a subset rules to predict the class label of the new data. This m...
متن کاملIntegrating Classification and Association Rule Mining
Classification rule mining aims to discover a small set of rules in the database that forms an accurate classifier. Association rule mining finds all the rules existing in the database that satisfy some minimum support and minimum confidence constraints. For association rule mining, the target of discovery is not pre-determined, while for classification rule mining there is one and only one pre...

Mining class association rules is an important task for associative classification and plays a key role in rule-based decision support systems. Most of the existing methods try the best to mine rules with high reliability but ignore their capability for classifying potential objects. This paper defines a concept of -stronger relationship, and proposes a new method that integrates classification...

Associative classification is a supervised classification approach, integrating association mining and classification. Several studies in data mining have shown that associative classification achieves higher classification accuracy than do traditional classification techniques. However, the associative classification suffers from a major drawback: The huge number of the generated classificatio...
