关联规则挖掘算法综述

ssociation rule mining is one of the important research areas of data mining. This paper firstly comprehensively introduces the basic concepts of association rules, including Item, transaction, support, confidence, etc., and then describes the steps of association rule mining, its property, and a classification method used, and finally introduces the research status of association rule mining. Association rule mining algorithms have been extensively studied at present, the main research direction including the optimization of classical Boolean association rules algorithm, further study in multidimensional and multilevel association rules, incremental updating algorithm of association rules, rules mining based on frequent item sets, special model types of association rules and applications of association rules in special fields.
