Incremental maintenance of association rules is an interesting problem that has been tackled in several research works. Even though literature abundance in this way, there is still a lack of methods that process the complete maintenance problem, that is, incremental maintenance for any type of update (insertion or deletion of data) and for any new support threshold. In this paper, we develop a new method of general incremental maintenance. The experimentations showed that our algorithm is more efficient than classical maintenance approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
