Aiming at the shortcomings of the traditional "support-confidence" association rules mining framework and the problems of mining negative association rules, the concept of interestingness measure is introduced. Analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of some commonly used interestingness measures at present, and combined the cosine measure on the basis of the interestingness measure model based on the difference idea, and proposed a new interestingness measure model. The interestingness measure can effectively express the relationship between the antecedent and the subsequent part of the rule. According to this model, an association rules mining algorithm based on the interestingness measure fusion model is proposed to improve the accuracy of mining. Experiments show that the algorithm has better performance and can effectively help mining positive and negative association rules.

Research in association rules mining has initially concentrated in solving the obvious problem of finding positive association rules; that is rules among items that exist in the stored transactions. It was only several years after that the possibility of finding also negative association rules became especially appealing and was investigated. Nevertheless researchers based their assumptions regarding negative association rules on the absence of items from transactions. This assumption though besides being dubious, since it equated the absence of an item with a conflict or negative effect on the rest items, it also brought out a series of computational problems with the amount of possible patterns that had to be examined and analyzed. In this work we give an overview of the works having engaged with the subject until now and present a novel view for the definition of negative influence among items.
