Data mining is the representative methodology to obtain meaningful information in the era of big data.By Wikipedia, association rule learning is a popular and well researched method for discovering interesting relationship between itemsets in large databases using association thresholds. It is intended to identify strong rules discovered in databases using different interestingness measures. Unlike general association rule, inverse association rule mining finds the rules that a special item does not occur if an item does not occur. If two types of association rule can be simultaneously considered, we can obtain the marketing information for some related products as well as the information of specific product marketing. In this paper, we propose a balanced attributable relative accuracy applicable to these association rule techniques, and then check the three conditions of interestingness measures by Piatetsky-Shapiro (1991). The comparative studies with rule accuracy, relative accuracy, attributable relative accuracy, and balanced attributable relative accuracy are shown by numerical example. The results show that balanced attributable relative accuracy is better than any other accuracy measures.

Association rule represents the relationship between items in a massive database by quantifying their relationship, and is used most frequently in data mining techniques. In general, association rule technique generates the rule, 'If A, then B.', whereas negative association rule technique generates the rule, 'If A, then not B.', or 'If not A, then B.'. We can determine whether we promote other products in addition to promote its products only if we add negative association rules to existing association rules. In this paper, we proposed the negatively pure association rules by negatively pure support, negatively pure confidence, and negatively pure lift to overcome the problems faced by negative association rule technique. In checking the usefulness of this technique through numerical examples, we could find the direction of association by the sign of the negatively pure association rule measure.

Association rule mining searches for interesting relationships among items in a given database. Currently, study of the constraint-based association rules are underway by many researchers. When we create relation rule, we can often find a lot of rules. Of this rules, we can find rule that direct relativity by marginally conditional variables (intervening variable, external variable) does not exist. In such a case, this association rule can be considered insignificant. In this study, we want to study for association rules creation using marginally conditional variable. The result of this study can find meaningless association rules. Also, we can understand more exactly the relationships between variables.

Association rule mining searches for interesting relationships among items in a given database. There are three primary quality measures for association rule, support and confidence and lift. In order to improve the efficiency of existing mining algorithms, constraints were applied during the mining process to generate only those association rules that are interesting to users instead of all the association rules. When we create relation rule, we can often find a lot of rules. This can find rule that direct relativity by intervening variable does not exist. In this study we try to discovery an insignificant rule in association rules by intervening variable. Result of this study can understand relativity about rule that is created in relation rule more exactly.

주기적인 연관규칙은 타겟데이터베이스를 일정 단위시간으로 나누었을 때 연관규칙이 만족하는 구간이 일정한 주기마다 발생하는 패턴을 탐색하는 방법이다. 하지만, 이 방법은 엄격한 주기를 가지도록 하여 실제 데이터에 그대로 적용하기가 어려웠다. 예를 들이 편의점 데이터에서 매일 오전 7시-8시 사이에 주기적으로 발생하는 연관규칙을 발견할 때, 이러한 연관규칙을 주기적인 연관규칙이라고 한다. 하지만, 실제 데이터에서는 날씨와 같이 사람의 행동에 영향을 미치는 다른 요인 때문에 항상 일정한 주기를 가지는 연관규칙을 찾기는 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 주기가 일정하지 않은 연관규칙을 찾기 위해서 연관규칙의 주기성을 허용 오차를 포함하며 재정의하고, 오차를 허용하기 위한 탐색 알고리즘을 보완하였다. 반면에, 오차를 허용함으로써 오차를 허용하지 않는 경우보다 더 많은 주기성을 찾을 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 동일한 주기를 가지지만 오프셋이 다른 여러 개의 비슷한 주기가지 찾게 되어 사용자가 의미 있는 연관규칙을 찾는데 방해가 된다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해서 오차를 허용하는 주기적 연관규칙의 오차의 정도를 측정하기 위한 단위로 집중도(intensity)와 경향성(tendency)을 제안한다. 주기적 연관규칙이 매 주기마다 정확한 세그먼트에 나타나는 정도를 나타내는 집중도와, 최소 평균오차를 의미하는 경향성을 이용하여 유사한 주기들 중에서 대표주기만을 찾을 수 있도록 한다. 또한, 오차를 허용하는 주기적 연관규칙에서 오차가 주로 발생하는 패턴을 분석함으로써 고객들의 수요 경향성을 더 잘 파악할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 평소에는 매일 오진 7시∼8시에 나타나던 연관성이 지각하는 사람들이 같은 월요일에는 1시간 늦은 8시∼9시에 나타난다는 오타 정보까지 파악할 수 있다. 이러한 월요일마다 1시간 늦게 나타나는 오차의 경향성을 나타내는 오차 주기(error cyc1e)를 이용함으로써 고객들의 수요의 경향성을 좀 더 세밀한 부분까지 파악할 수 있게 해 준다.

One of the important goals in data mining is to discover and decide the relationships between different variables. Association rules are required for this technique and it find meaningful rules by quantifying the relationship between two items based on association measures such as support, confidence, and lift. In this paper, we presented the evaluation criteria of weighted association rule considering item RFM scores as importance of items. Original RFM technique has been used most widely applied method using customer information to find the most profitable customers. And then we compared general association rule technique with weighted association rule technique through the simulation data.

The most widely used data mining technique is to explore association rules. This technique has been used to find the relationship between items in a massive database based on the interestingness measures such as support, confidence, lift, etc. Association rules are frequently used by retail stores to assist in marketing, advertising, floor placement, and inventory control.In general, association rule technique generates the rule, 'If A, then B.', whereas negative association rule technique generates the rule, 'If A, then not B.', or 'If not A, then B.'. We can determine whether we promote other products in addition to promote its products only if we add negative association rules to existing association rules. In this paper, we proposed the negatively attributable and pure confidence to overcome the problems faced by negative association rule technique, and then we checked three conditions for interestingness measure. The comparative studies with negative confidence, negatively pure confidence, and negatively attributable and pure confidence are shown by numerical examples. The results show that the negatively attributable and pure confidence is better than negative confidence and negatively pure confidence.

Data mining is a method to find useful information for large amounts of data in database. One of the well-studied problems in data mining is exploration for association rules. Association rule mining searches for interesting relationships among items in a given database by support, confidence, and lift. If we use the existing association rules, we can commit some errors by information loss not to consider the size of occurrence frequency. In this paper, we proposed a new association rule thresholds considering the number of possible rules of interest items and compare with existing association rule thresholds by example and real data. As the results, the new association rule thresholds were more useful than existing thresholds.

In data mining, association rule is a popular and well researched method for discovering interesting relations between variables. There are three measures for association rule, support, confidence and lift. But there are some problem in them. They don't consider the frequency of variable in case. So, we need the new association rule which consider the frequency.In this paper, we proposed the new association rule. We compared the proposed association rule with the original association rule from example data. As a result, we knew our function was better than the original function in terms of sensitivity.

Data mining is the process of analyzing a huge database from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information. One of the well-studied problems in data mining is association rule generation. Association rule mining finds the relationship among several items in massive volume database using the interestingness measures such as support, confidence, lift, etc. Typical applications for this technique include retail market basket analysis, item recommendation systems, cross-selling, customer relationship management, etc. But these interestingness measures cannot be used to establish a causality relationship between antecedent and consequent item sets. This paper propose causal association thresholds to compensate for this problem, and then check the three conditions of interestingness measures. The comparative studies with basic and causal association thresholds are shown by numerical example. The results show that causal association thresholds are better than basic association thresholds.
