SLIDE 8 Introduction Extraction of a minimal cover from a binary relation Virtual reality based visualization of association rules Conclusion and future work
Statistical Metrics
Support : probability that a transaction contains X and Y (frequency of appearance of XY). Confidence : conditional probability that a transaction containing X also contains Y. (support(XY)/support(X)). Confidence(R)
- = 1 → Exact association rule.
< 1 → Approximate association rule.
Aim : Extracting all the association rules minSup and minConf (User-given thresholds). How to do that ?
1
Collecting the frequent itemsets (support ≥ minsupp),
2
Extracting valid association rules (confidence ≥ minconf ).
However ! ! ! !
The extraction cost is exponential with the number of items, i.e., 2|I|.
