چکیده

Given a collection of boolean spatial features, the co-location pattern discovery process nds the subsets of features frequently located together. For example, the analysis of an ecology dataset may reveal the frequent co-location of a re ignition source feature with a needle vegetation type feature and a drought feature. The spatial co-location rule problem is diierent from the association rule problem. Even though boolean spatial feature types (also called spatial events) may correspond to items in association rules over market-basket datasets, there is no natural notion of transactions. This creates diiculty in using traditional measures (e.g. support, conndence) and applying association rule mining algorithms which use support based pruning. We propose a notion of user-speciied neighborhoods in place of transactions to specify groups of items. New interest measures for spatial co-location patterns are proposed which are robust in the face of potentially innnite overlapping neighborhoods. We also propose an algorithm to mine frequent spatial co-location patterns and analyze its correctness, and completeness. We plan to carry out experimental evaluations and performance tuning in the near future.

Mining Of Spatial Co-location Pattern from Spatial Datasets

Spatial data mining, or knowledge discovery in spatial database, refers to the extraction of implicit knowledge, spatial relations, or other patterns not explicitly stored in spatial databases. Spatial data mining is the process of discovering interesting characteristics and patterns that may implicitly exist in spatial database. A huge amount of spatial data and newly emerging concept of Spati...

Discovering Co-location Patterns in Datasets with Extended Spatial Objects

Co-location mining is one of the tasks of spatial data mining, which focuses on the detection of the sets of spatial features frequently located in close proximity of each other. Previous work is based on transaction-free apriori-like algorithms. The approach we propose is based on a grid transactionization of geographic space and designed to mine datasets with extended spatial objects. A stati...

An Image Processing based Algorithm for Discovering Co-Location Patterns

Spatial co-location patterns represents the subset of Boolean spatial features (e.g. Frontage roads, freeways) whose instances are often located in close geographic proximity. For instance, stagnant water founts and west Nile ailments are often co-located. The co-location pattern can be defined as an undirected connected graph in which every node represents a feature and every single edge denot...

A multiple window-based co-location pattern mining approach for various types of spatial data

Studies on spatial co-location mining required distance threshold to define spatial neighbourhood (Shashi Shekhar and Yan Huang(2001); Yoo and Shekhar (2004, 2006); Yasuhiko Morimoto(2001); Koperski and Han(1995); Ding et al. (2008)) However, it is problematical for users to choose suitable threshold values because they lack prior knowledge about spatial data. Spatial neighbourhood has been def...
