With the advancement in the web technology it is considered as one of the vast repository of information. However this information is in the hidden form. Various data mining techniques need to be applied for extracting the meaningful information from the web. In this paper the various techniques are discussed that have been used by many researchers for extracting the information and also shown the disadvantages with the existing approaches. The paper put forward a novel concept of mining the association rule from the web data by using Quine-McCluskey algorithm. This algorithm is an optimization technique over the existing algorithm like Apriori, reverse Apriori, k-map. This paper exhibits the working of the Quine-McCluskey algorithm that can extract the frequently accessed web pages with minimum number of candidate sets generation. However the limitation of Quine-McCluskey algorithm is that it cannot find the infrequent patterns.
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.
