Association rule mining has attracted wide attention in both research and application area recently. Mining multilevel association rules is one of the most important branch of it. This paper introduces an improved apriori algorithm so called FP-growth algorithm that will help resolve two neck-bottle problems of traditional apriori algorithm and has more efficiency than original one. New FP tree...

Data Mining is used to discover the knowledge from large amount of databases and transform it into a flexible structure. Association rule mining (ARM) is the essential part of data mining process. Finding good quality of association rules between items in large databases has been an important and challenging association rule mining problem. The rules mined through ARM algorithms are used for de...

Aiming at the redundancy problem of association rules in the mining process of mining association rules, a kind of shortest antecedent set algorithm (SASA) for mining association rules is proposed in this paper, and the algorithm is supported by the set-enumeration tree structure. The proposed algorithm is able to record a kind of subset for association rules without any information loss, and t...

In recent years, discovery of association rules among itemsets in a large database has been described as an important database-mining problem. The problem of discovering association rules has received considerable research attention and several algorithms for mining frequent itemsets have been developed. Many algorithms have been proposed to discover rules at single concept level. However, mini...
