چکیده
This paper presents a method for deriving Association rules by using apriori algorithm, clustering and fuzzy set concepts. Association rules of quantitative data are presented with mean and standard deviation, and with fuzzy linguistic terms. A case study was done on the commodity data to demonstrate vitality of proposed method. The statistical and fuzzy Association rules, inferred from the commodity data set, are helpful for the business experts in exporting related commodities to a set of countries in a more effective way along with high profits.

Optimizing Membership Functions using Learning Automata for Fuzzy Association Rule Mining
The Transactions in web data often consist of quantitative data, suggesting that fuzzy set theory can be used to represent such data. The time spent by users on each web page is one type of web data, was regarded as a trapezoidal membership function (TMF) and can be used to evaluate user browsing behavior. The quality of mining fuzzy association rules depends on membership functions and since t...

The concept of intelligently controlling the search process of gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is introduced to develop a novel data mining technique. The proposed method is called fuzzy GSA miner (FGSA-miner). At first a fuzzy controller is designed for adaptively controlling the gravitational coefficient and the number of effective objects, as two important parameters which play major ro...
متن کاملA Novel Method for Selecting the Supplier Based on Association Rule Mining
One of important problems in supply chains management is supplier selection. In a company, there are massive data from various departments so that extracting knowledge from the company’s data is too complicated. Many researchers have solved this problem by some methods like fuzzy set theory, goal programming, multi objective programming, the liner programming, mixed integer programming, analyti...
متن کاملA new approach based on data envelopment analysis with double frontiers for ranking the discovered rules from data mining
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...
متن کاملDetermining Fuzzy Sets for Quantitative Attributes in Data Mining Problems
The problem of mining association rules for fuzzy quantitative items was introduced and an algorithm proposed in [5]. However, the algorithm assumes that fuzzy sets are given. In this paper we propose a method to find the fuzzy sets for each quantitative attribute in a database by using clustering techniques. We present a scheme for finding the optimal partitioning of a data set during the clus...
