Temporal data mining, the incorporation of temporal semantics to existing data mining techniques, refers to a set of techniques for discovering implicit and useful temporal knowledge from temporal data. Association rules and classification are applied to various applications which are the typical data mining problems. However, these approaches do not consider temporal attribute and have been pursued for discovering knowledge from static data although a large proportion of data contains temporal dimension. Also, data mining researches from temporal data treat problems for discovering knowledge from data stamped with time point and adding time constraint. Therefore, these do not consider temporal semantics and temporal relationships containing data. This paper suggests that temporal associative classification technique based on temporal class association rules. This temporal classification applies rules discovered by temporal class association rules which extends existing associative classification by containing temporal dimension for generating temporal classification rules. Therefore, this technique can discover more useful knowledge in compared with typical classification techniques.

Nowadays due to the rapid advances in the field of information systems, transactional databases are being updated regularly and/or periodically. The knowledge discovered from these databases has to be maintained, and an incremental updating technique needs to be developed for maintaining the discovered association rules from these databases. The concept of Temporal Association Rules has been introduced to solve the problem of handling time series by including time expressions into association rules. In this paper we introduce a novel algorithm for Incremental Mining of General Temporal Association Rules (IMTAR) using an extended TFP-tree. The main benefits introduced by our algorithm are that it offers significant advantages in terms of storage and running time and it can handle the problem of mining general temporal association rules in incremental databases by building TFP-trees incrementally. It can be utilized and applied to real life application domains. We demonstrate our algorithm and its advantages in this paper.

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.

As electronic commerce progresses, the temporal association rule is developed from partitioned data sets by time to offer personalized services for customer's interest. In this paper, we proposed a temporal association rule with exponential smoothing method that is giving higher weights to recent data than past data. Through simulation and case study, we confirmed that it is more precise than existing temporal association rules but consumes running time.

The temporal association rule added a temporal concept in a commercial association rule In this paper. we proposed a exponential smoothing temporal association rule that is giving higher weights to recent data than past data. Through simulation and case study in temporal data sets, we confirmed that it is more Precise than existing temporal association rules but consumes running time.

Data mining refers to a set of techniques for discovering implicit and useful knowledge from large database. Many studies on data mining have been pursued and some of them have involved issues of temporal data mining for discovering knowledge from temporal database, such as sequential pattern, similar time sequence, cyclic and temporal association rules, etc. However, all of the works treat problems for discovering temporal pattern from data which are stamped with time points and do not consider problems for discovering knowledge from temporal interval data. For example, there are many examples of temporal interval data that it can discover useful knowledge from. These include patient histories, purchaser histories, web log, and so on. Allen introduces relationships between intervals and operators for reasoning about relations between intervals. We present a new data mining technique that can discover temporal relation rules in temporal interval data by using the Allen's theory. In this paper, we present two new algorithms for discovering algorithm for generating temporal relation rules, discovers rules from temporal interval data. This technique can discover more useful knowledge in compared with conventional data mining techniques.

In this paper, we present a temporal association rule based on item time intervals. A temporal association rule is an association rule that holds specific time intervals. If we consider itemset in the frequently purchased period, we can discover more significant itemset satisfying minimum support. Because the previous study did not consider the time interval between purchased item, it could find itemset that did not satisfy the minimum support in case some item was frequently purchased in a specific period and rarely or not purchased in other period. Our approach uses interval support which is counted by period with support and confidence in the association rule to discovery large itemset.

Mining frequent patterns in transaction databases, time-series databases, and many other kinds of databases has been studied popularly in data mining research. Most of the previous studies adopt an Apriori-like candidate set generation-and-test approach. However, candidate set generation is still costly, especially when there exist prolific patterns and/or long patterns. And calendar based on temporal association rules proposes the discovery of association rules along with their temporal patterns in terms of calendar schemas, but this approach is also adopt an Apriori-like candidate set generation. In this paper, we propose an efficient temporal frequent pattern mining using TFP-tree (Temporal Frequent Pattern tree). This approach has three advantages: (1) this method separates many partitions by according to maximum size domain and only scans the transaction once for reducing the I/O cost. (2) This method maintains all of transactions using FP-trees. (3) We only have the FP-trees of I-star pattern and other star pattern nodes only link them step by step for efficient mining and the saving memory. Our performance study shows that the TFP-tree is efficient and scalable for mining, and is about an order of magnitude faster than the Apriori algorithm and also faster than calendar based on temporal frequent pattern mining methods.

An event means a flow which has a time attribute such as a symptom of patient. Stream data collected by sensors can be summarized as an interval event which has a time interval between the start-time point and the end-time point in multiple stream data environment. Most of temporal mining techniques have considered only the frequent events. However, these approaches may ignore the infrequent event even if it is important. In this paper, we propose a new temporal data mining that can find association rules for the significant temporal relation based on interval events in multidimensional stream data environment. Our method considers the weight of events and stream data on the sensing time point of abnormal events. And we can discover association rules on the significant temporal relation regardless of the occurrence frequency of events. The experimental analysis has shown that our method provide more useful knowledge than other conventional methods.

The event sequence of the same type from a set of events having time property can be summarized in one event. But if the event sequence having an interval, It is reasonable to be summarized more than one in independent sub event sequence of each other. In this paper, we suggest a method of temporal data mining that summarizes the interval events based on Allen's interval algebra and finds out interval event association rule from interval events. It provides better knowledge than others by using concept of an independent sub sequence and finding interval event association rules.
