A review of associative classification mining

Abstract

Associative classification mining is a promising approach in data mining that utilizes the association rule discovery techniques to construct classification systems, also known as associative classifiers. In the last few years, a number of associative classification algorithms have been proposed, i.e. CPAR, CMAR, MCAR, MMAC and others. These algorithms employ several different rule discovery, rule ranking, rule pruning, rule prediction and rule evaluation methods. This paper focuses on surveying and comparing the state-of-the-art associative classification techniques with regards to the above criteria. Finally, future directions in associative classification, such as incremental learning and mining low-quality data sets, are also highlighted in this paper.

Partial Rule Match for Filtering Rules in Associative Classification

“…Hereunder is the main related to definition to AC (Thabtah, 2007), where the input training data T has n attributes A 1 , A 2 ,…, A m and C is a set of classes. The size of T is denoted |T|.…”

Data Mining Techniques in the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

“…CPAR is an improvement to CBA and CMAR (Thabtah et al, 2005;Thabtah, 2007). It is proposed by Chen, Yin and Huang in 2005.The core of CPAR and other predictive mining algorithms is the predictive rule mining capability, whereby after an instance has been correctly covered by a rule, instead of removing it, its weight is decreased by multiplying a factor.…”

Improvement of ID3 Algorithm Based on Simplified Information Entropy and Coordination Degree

“…The classification mining technology, among data mining technologies, is becoming a most active and mature research direction allowing for successful applications. Classification mining [6] can be applied to discover useful information from large amounts of data stored in a large number of fields such as hospital, stock, banking, etc. For example, it is important for a hospital to accurately predict the length of stay (LOS), and Ref.…”
