“…Rapid association rule mining [50],Generalized association rule mining [51,52,53] ,Fuzzy association rule mining [54] Mining, Distributed association rule mining [55], Association rule mining using multi criteria decision methods (Global profit weight method) [56], Frequent item sets using vertical layout [57], Maximal and closed frequent pattern mining algorithms [57], Multi dimensional and Quantitative association rule mining algorithms [57], Sequential association rule mining algorithms [57], Incremental association rule mining algorithms [57], Image association rule mining [3] and Association rule mining for clustering [58,59,60] are seen in the literature. The comparison scheme provides a frame work which clearly shows the search type, number of scans required(k-represent number of items) and data structure of the various association rule mining algorithms.…”
