Fuzzy association rules: general model and applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The theory of fuzzy sets has been recognized as a suitable tool to model several kinds of patterns that can hold in data. In this paper, we are concerned with the development of a general model to discover association rules among items in a (crisp) set of fuzzy transactions. This general model can be particularized in several ways; each particular instance corresponds to a certain kind of pattern and/or repository of data. We describe some applications of this scheme, paying special attention to the discovery of fuzzy association rules in relational databases.

Developing 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...

Introduction: Constructing medical decision support models to automatically extract knowledge from data helps physicians in early diagnosis of disease. Interpretability of the inferential rules of these models is a key indicator in determining their performance in order to understand how they make decisions, and increase the reliability of their output. Methods: In this study, an automated hyb...
متن کاملFuzzy Weighted Associative Classifier: a Predictive Technique for Health Care Data Mining
In this paper we extend the problem of classification using Fuzzy Association Rule Mining and propose the concept of Fuzzy Weighted Associative Classifier (FWAC). Classification based on Association rules is considered to be effective and advantageous in many cases. Associative classifiers are especially fit to applications where the model may assist the domain experts in their decisions. Weigh...
متن کاملThe fuzzy data mining generalized association rules for quantitative values
Due to the increasing use of very large databases and data warehouses, mining useful information and helpful knowledge from transactions is evolving into an important research area. Most conventional data-mining algorithms identify the relationships among transactions using binary values and find rules at a single concept level. Transactions with quantitative values and items with hierarchy rel...
متن کاملApplications of a group in general fuzzy automata
Let $tilde{F}=(Q,S,tilde{R},Z,omega,tilde{delta}, F_1,F_2)$ be a general fuzzy automaton and the set of its states be a group. The aim of this paper is the study of applications of a group in a general fuzzy automaton. For this purpose, we define the concepts of fuzzy normal kernel of a general fuzzy automaton, fuzzy kernel of a general fuzzy automaton, adjustable, multip...
