The Fuzzy Search for Association Rules with Interestingness Measure
Abstract—Association rule are important to retailers as a
source of knowledge to manage shelf, to plan an effective
promotion, and so on. However, when we are mining with
association rule discovery technique, we normally obtain a large
number of rules. To select only good rule is difficult. Therefore,
in this paper we propose the fuzzy search technique to discover
interesting association rule. The comparative result of fuzzy
versus non-fuzzy searches are presented in the experiment
section. We found that fuzzy search is more flexible than the
non-fuzzy one in finding highly constrained rules.
Index Terms—Fuzzy set, fuzzy search, membership function,
association rule mining.
