Some Quality Measures for Fuzzy Association Rules
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several approaches generalizing crisp association rules to fuzzy association rules have been proposed. In an our previous paper we introduced a pair of confidence measures for crisp association rules from which one can be obtained the majority known quality measures. In this paper, starting from these results we give an extension to fuzzy association rules.

A Note on Quality Measures for Fuzzy Asscociation Rules
Several approaches generalizing association rules to fuzzy association rules have been proposed so far. While the formal specification of fuzzy associations is more or less straightforward, the evaluation of such rules by means of appropriate quality measures assumes an understanding of the semantic meaning of a fuzzy rule. In this respect, most existing proposals can be considered ad-hoc to so...
متن کاملElicitation of fuzzy association rules from positive and negative examples
The aim of this paper is to provide a crystal clear insight into the true semantics of the measures of support and confidence that are used to assess rule quality in fuzzy association rule mining. To achieve this, we rely on two important pillars: the identification of transactions in a database as positive or negative examples of a given association between attributes, and the correspondence b...
متن کاملA Restriction Level Approach for the Representation and Evaluation of Fuzzy Association Rules
The goal of this paper is to present a logic model with very good properties for the representation and evaluation of fuzzy association rules. For that we are going to combine two approaches. The first one is a model for the representation and evaluation of crisp association rules. The second one is a new proposal for the representation of imprecise properties (in particular for fuzzy sets) by ...
متن کاملMining Positive and Negative Fuzzy Association Rules
While traditional algorithms concern positive associations between binary or quantitative attributes of databases, this paper focuses on mining both positive and negative fuzzy association rules. We show how, by a deliberate choice of fuzzy logic connectives, significantly increased expressivity is available at little extra cost. In particular, rule quality measures for negative rules can be co...
متن کاملA Systematic Approach to the Assessment of Fuzzy Association Rules∗ Draft of a paper accepted for publication in the journal Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
In order to allow for the analysis of data sets including numerical attributes, several generalizations of association rule mining based on fuzzy sets have been proposed in the literature. While the formal specification of fuzzy associations is more or less straightforward, the assessment of such rules by means of appropriate quality measures is less obvious. Particularly, it assumes an underst...
