Recently, Mining negative association rules has received some attention and proved to be useful. Negative association rules are useful in market-basket analysis to identify products that conflict with each other or products that complement each other. Several algorithms have been proposed. However, there are some questions with those algorithms, for example, misleading rules will occur when the positive and negative rules are mined simultaneously. The chi-squared test that based on the mature theory and Correlation Coefficient can avoid the problem. In this paper, We proposed the algorithm PNCCR based on chi-squared test and correlation is proposed. The experiment results show that the misleading rules are pruned. It suggests that the algorithm is correct and efficient.

This paper presents a hybrid data mining mechanism to extract expert knowledge from historical data and extend expert systems' reasoning capabilities by using fuzzy neural network (FNN)-based learning & rule extraction algorithm. Our hybrid data mining mechanism is based on association rule extraction mechanism, FNN learning and fuzzy rule extraction algorithm. Most of traditional data mining mechanisms are depended ()n association rule extraction algorithm. However, the basic association rule-based data mining systems has not the learning ability. Therefore, there is a problem to extend the knowledge base adaptively. In addition, sequential patterns of association rules can`t represent the complicate fuzzy logic in real-world. To resolve these problems, we suggest the hybrid data mining mechanism based on association rule-based data mining, FNN learning and fuzzy rule extraction algorithm. Our hybrid data mining mechanism is consisted of four phases. First, we use general association rule mining mechanism to develop an initial rule base. Then, in the second phase, we adopt the FNN learning algorithm to extract the hidden relationships or patterns embedded in the historical data. Third, after the learning of FNN, the fuzzy rule extraction algorithm will be used to extract the implicit knowledge from the FNN. Fourth, we will combine the association rules (initial rule base) and fuzzy rules. Implementation results show that the hybrid data mining mechanism can reflect both association rule-based knowledge extraction and FNN-based knowledge extension.

This study suggests the partition algorithm for updating the discovered association rules in large database, because a database may allow frequent or occasional updates, and such update may not only invalidate some existing strong association rules, but also turn some weak rules into strong ones. the Partition algorithm updates strong association rules efficiently in the whole update database reuseing the information of the old large itemsets. Partition algorithms that is suggested in this study scans an incremental database in view of the fact that it is difficult to find the new set of large itemset in the whole updated database after an incremental database is added to the original database. This method of generating large itemsets is different from that of FUP(Fast Update) and KDP(Kim Dong Pil)

Recently, mining far association rules in distributed database environments is a central problem in knowledge discovery area. While the data are located in different share-nothing machines, and each data site grows by time. Mining global frequent itemsets is hard and not efficient in large number of distributed sewen. In many distributed databases. time component(which is usually attached to transactions in database), contains meaningful time-related rules. In this paper, we design a new DTA(distributed temporal association) algorithm that combines temporal concepts inside distributed association rules. The algorithm confirms the time interval for applying association rules in distributed databases. The experiment results show that DTA can generate interesting correlation frequent itemsets related with time periods.

The problem of discovering association rules has received considerable research attention and several fast algorithms for mining association rules have been developed. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for mining quantitative association rules with item constraints. For categorical attributes, we map the values of the attribute to a set of consecutive integers. For quantitative attributes, we can partition the attribute into values or ranges. While such constraints can be applied as a post-processing step, integrating them into the mining algorithm can reduce the execution time. We consider the problem of integrating constraints that are boolean expressions over the presence or absence of items containing quantitative attributes into the association discovery algorithm using Apriori concept.

In this paper, an effective method for clustering terminologies extracted from text is proposed, in order to develope a search engine to extract relevant information from large web documents. To prevent frequency of the meaningless association rules among general terminologies, only useful association rules among terminologies are produced using database tables which consist of domain-specific terminologies. Such association rules are produced by applying the Apriori algorithm after forming transaction units from groups of association rules in a document. A group of association rules produced from a terminology forms in a cluster.

Association rules mining, which is one of data mining technologies, searches data among which are frequent and related to each other in database. But, although the data are not of frequent and rare in database, they have the enough worth of business information if the data ares important and strongly related to each other, In this paper, we propose the algorithm discovering association rules that consist of data, which are rare but, important and strongly related to each other in database. The proposed algorithm was evaluated through simulation. We found that the proposed algorithm discovered efficiently association rules among data, which are not frequent but, important.

An association rule mining has been studied to find hidden data pattern in data mining. A realization of fast processing method have became a big issue because it treated a great number of transaction data. The time which is derived by association rule finding method geometrically increase according to a number of item included data. Accordingly, the process to reduce the number of rules is necessarily needed. We propose the T-algorithm that is efficient rule reduction algorithm. The T-algorithm can reduce effectively the number of association rules. Because that the T-algorithm compares transaction data item with binary format. And improves a support and a confidence between items. The performance of the proposed T-algorithm is evaluated from a simulation.

This paper explored the use of an algorithm for the data mining and method in handling missing data which had generated enhanced association patterns observed using the data illustrated here. The evaluations showed that more association patterns are generated in the second analysis which suggests more meaningful rules than in the first situation. It showed that the model offer more precise and important association rules that is more valuable when applied for business decision making. With the discovery of accurate association rules or business patterns, strategies could be efficiently planned out and implemented to improve marketing schemes. This investigation gives rise to a number of interesting issues that could be explored further like the effect of outliers and missing data for detecting fraud and devious database entries.

This study suggests an efficient algorithm for updating discovered association rules in large database, because a database may allow frequent or occasional updates, and such updates may not only invalidate some existing strong association rules, but also turn some weak rules into strong ones. FUP and DMI update efficiently strong association rules in the whole updated database reusing the information of the old large item-sets. Moreover, these algorithms use a pruning technique for reducing the database size in the update process. This study updates strong association rules efficiently in the whole updated database reusing the information of the old large item-sets. An updating algorithm that is suggested in this study generates the whole candidate item-sets at once in an incremental database in view of the fact that it is difficult to find the new set of large item-sets in the whole updated database after an incremental database is added to the original database. This method of generating candidate item-sets is different from that of FUP and DMI. After generating the whole candidate item-sets, if each item-set in the whole candidate item-sets is large at an incremental database, the original database is scanned and the support of each item-set in the whole candidate item-sets is updated. So, the whole large item-sets in the whole updated database is found out. An updating algorithm that is suggested in this study does not use a pruning technique for reducing the database size in the update process. As a result, an updating algoritm that is suggested updates fast and efficiently discovered large item-sets.
