Association rule mining searches for interesting relationships among items in a given database. Association rules are frequently used by retail stores to assist in marketing, advertising, floor placement, and inventory control. There are three primary quality measures for association rule, support and confidence and lift. In this paper we present association rule mining based antecedent variables. We call these rules to antecedent association rules. An antecedent variable is a variable that occurs before the independent variable and the dependent variable.

Association rule mining searches for interesting relationships among items in a given large data set. Association rules are frequently used by retail stores to assist in marketing, advertising, floor placement, and inventory control. There are three primary threshold measures in association rule; support and confidence and lift. In the case of appling real world to association rules, we have some difficulties in data interpretation because we obtain many rules. In this paper, we develop the model of association rules using latent variables for environmental survey data.

A new association rule mining algorithm, which reflects the strategic importance of associative relationships between items, was developed and presented in this paper. This algorithm exploits the basic framework of Apriori procedures and TSAA(transitive support association Apriori) procedure developed by Hyun and Choi in evaluating non-frequent itemsets. The algorithm considers the strategic importance(weight) of feature variables in the association rule mining process. Sample feature variables of strategic importance include: profitability, marketing value, customer satisfaction, and frequency. A database with 730 transaction data set of a large scale discount store was used to compare and verify the performance of the presented algorithm against the existing Apriori and TSAA algorithms. The result clearly indicated that the new algorithm produced substantially different association itemsets according to the weights assigned to the strategic feature variables.

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.

Data mining is the technique to find useful information in huge databases. One of the well-studied problems in data mining is exploration for association rules. An association rule technique finds the relation among each items in massive volume databases by several interestingness measures. An important and useful classification scheme of interestingness measures may be based on user-involvement. This results in two categories - objective and subjective measures. This paper present some relative interestingess measures to compare with degrees of association for two groups. A comparative study with some relative interestingness measures is shown by numerical example. The results show that the relative net confidence is the best relative interestingness measure.

Minimum support and confidence have been used as criteria for generating association rules in all association rule mining algorithms. These criteria have their natural appeals, such as simplicity; few researchers have suspected the quality of generated rules. In this paper, we examine the rules from a more rigorous point of view by conducting statistical tests. Specifically, we use contingency tables and chi-square test to analyze the data. Experimental results show that one third of the association rules derived based on the support and confidence criteria are not significant, that is, the antecedent and consequent of the rules are not correlated. It indicates that minimum support and minimum confidence do not provide adequate discovery of meaningful associations. The chi-square test can be considered as an enhancement or an alternative solution.

One of the well-studied problems in data mining is the search for association rules. In this paper we consider the statistical decision making of association threshold in association rule. A chi-squared statistic is used to find minimum association threshold. We calculate the range of the value that two item sets are occurred simultaneously, and find the minimum confidence threshold values.

Recently, to reflect the context between transactions, the intertransaction association rule mining has been study. In this study, we present two problems that is within intertransaction association rule mining method and suggest the methods to solve this problems. First, we suggest an algorithm to reflect changes on data between transactions. Second, we propose the method to solve the unfairly considered frequency of data when intertransactions is generate with transactions. We make more meaningful rules than previous researches. We present the experiment result with measured data from the marine environment.
