This research aims to validate and factor-analyze the Fan Based Brand Equity (FBBE) questionnaire of football in Iranian supreme league clubs. The present research is of descriptive-analysis type and has been done by survey method. The statistic population included football clubs fans of the Iran’s 13th supreme football league, and the sample society was 880 people chosen from seven clubs fans ...

Genome-wide association studies often emphasize single-nucleotide polymorphisms with the smallest p-values with less attention given to single-nucleotide polymorphisms not ranked near the top. We suggest that gene pathways contain valuable information that can enable identification of additional associations. We used gene set information to identify disease-related pathways using three methods:...

When applying association mining to real datasets, a major obstacle is that often a huge number of rules are generated even with very reasonable support and confidence. Among these rules, many are trivial, redundant, semantically wrong, or already known by end-users. Association rule postprocessing aims to remove these undesired rules. Existing work mainly focuses on reducing redundant or findi...

In this paper we present a tool where both past and current student data is used live to generate hints for students who are completing programming exercises during a national programming online tutorial and competition. These hints can be links to notes that are relevant to the problem detected and can include pre-emptive hints to prevent future mistakes. Data from the year 2008 was mined, usi...

Formal concept analysis (FCA) and possibility theory (PoTh) are two theoretical frameworks that are addressing different concerns in the processing of information. Namely FCA builds concepts from a relation linking objects to the properties they satisfy, which has applications in data mining, clustering and related fields, while PoTh deals with the modeling of (graded) epistemic uncertainty. Th...

Many researchers invented ideas to generate the frequent itemsets. The time required for generating frequent itemsets plays an important role. Some algorithms are designed, considering only the time factor. Our study includes depth analysis of algorithms and discusses some problems of generating frequent itemsets from the algorithm. We have explored the unifying feature among the internal worki...
