Measuring Variation Strength in Gradual Dependencies

چکیده
In this paper we extend a previous definition of gradual dependence as a special kind of (crisp) association rule, in order to measure not only the existence of a tendency, but its strength. The new proposal is based on the idea of fuzzy association rule and the definition of variation strength in the degree of fulfilment of an imprecise property by different objects. We study the new semantics and properties of the resulting fuzzy gradual dependence, and we propose a way to adapt existing fuzzy association rule mining algorithms for the new task of mining such dependencies.

Mining Gradual Dependencies based on Fuzzy Rank Correlation
We propose a novel framework and an algorithm for mining gradual dependencies between attributes in a data set. Our approach is based on the use of fuzzy rank correlation for measuring the strength of a dependency. It can be seen as a unification of previous approaches to evaluating gradual dependencies and captures both, qualitative and quantitative measures of association as special cases.
متن کاملMeasuring the Dependency of the Banks’ Assets and Liabilities in Iran
Analyzing the correlation between banks’ assets and liabilities after the financial crisis has been focused by many countries. As the banks in Iran have proved to be the biggest financer required for the production sector, investigating the asset and liability portfolio and their correlation appears to be very important. In this paper, there has been an attempt to patronize the Iranian banking ...
متن کاملIncremental Mutual Information: A New Method for Characterizing the Strength and Dynamics of Connections in Neuronal Circuits
Understanding the computations performed by neuronal circuits requires characterizing the strength and dynamics of the connections between individual neurons. This characterization is typically achieved by measuring the correlation in the activity of two neurons. We have developed a new measure for studying connectivity in neuronal circuits based on information theory, the incremental mutual in...
متن کاملMeasurement of Variation in Fracture Strength and Calculation of Stress Concentration Factor in Composite Laminates with Circular Hole
In this research, residual strength and stress concentration factor of laminated composites with a circular open hole are studied analytically, numerically and experimentally. The numerical study was carried out using the finite element method. Moreover an analytical study was carried out with developing of point stress criterion. Mechanical testing was performed to determine the un-notched ten...
متن کاملGRAANK: Exploiting Rank Correlations for Extracting Gradual Itemsets
Gradual dependencies of the form the more A, the more B offer valuable information that linguistically express relationships between variations of the attributes. Several formalisations and automatic extraction algorithms have been proposed recently. In this paper, we first present an overview of these methods. We then propose an algorithm that combines the principles of several existing approa...
