scholarly journals Association Rule Mining on Spambase Dataset using Tanagra

There is huge amount of data being generated every minute on internet. This data is of no use until we cannot extract useful information from it. Data mining is the process of extracting useful information or knowledge from this huge amount of data that can be further used for various purposes. Discovering Association rules is one of the most important tasks among all other data mining tasks. Association rules contain the rules in the form of IF then THAN form. The leftmost part of the rule i.e. IF is called as the Antecedent which defines the condition and the rightmost part i.e. ELSE is called as the Consequent which defines the result. In this paper, we present the overview and comparison of Apriori, Apriori PT and Frequent Itemsets algorithm of association component in Tanagra Tool. We analyzed the performance based on the execution time and memory used for different number of instances, support and Rule Length in Spambase Dataset. The results show that when we increase the support value the Apriori PT takes the less execution time and Apriori takes less memory space. When numbers of instances are reduced Frequent Itemsets outperforms well both in case of memory and execution time. When rule length is increased the Apriori algorithm performs better than Apriori PT and Frequent Itemsets.

The discovery of association rules showing conditions of data co-occurrence has attracted the most attention in data mining. An example of an association rule is the rule “the customer who bought bread and butter also bought milk,” expressed by T(bread; butter)? T(milk). Let I ={x1,x2,…,xm} be a set of (data) items, called the domain; let D be a collection of records (transactions), where each record, T, has a unique identifier and contains a subset of items in I. We define itemset to be a set of items drawn from I and denote an itemset containing k items to be k-itemset. The support of itemset X, denoted by Ã(X/D), is the ratio of the number of records (in D) containing X to the total number of records in D. An association rule is an implication rule ?Y, where X; ? I and X ?Y=0. The confidence of ? Y is the ratio of s(?Y/D) to s(X/D), indicating that the percentage of those containing X also contain Y. Based on the user-specified minimum support (minsup) and confidence (minconf), the following statements are true: An itemset X is frequent if s(X/D)> minsup, and an association rule ? XY is strong i ?XY is frequent and ( / ) ( / ) X Y D X Y ? ¸ minconf. The problem of mining association rules is to find all strong association rules, which can be divided into two subproblems: 1. Find all the frequent itemsets. 2. Generate all strong rules from all frequent itemsets. Because the second subproblem is relatively straightforward ? we can solve it by extracting every subset from an itemset and examining the ratio of its support; most of the previous studies (Agrawal, Imielinski, & Swami, 1993; Agrawal, Mannila, Srikant, Toivonen, & Verkamo, 1996; Park, Chen, & Yu, 1995; Savasere, Omiecinski, & Navathe, 1995) emphasized on developing efficient algorithms for the first subproblem. This article introduces two important techniques for association rule mining: (a) finding N most frequent itemsets and (b) mining multiple-level association rules.

The problem of association rule mining was introduced in 1993 (Agrawal et al., 1993). Since then, it has been the subject of numerous studies. Most of these studies focused on either performance issues or functionality issues. The former considered how to compute association rules efficiently, whereas the latter considered what kinds of rules to compute. Examples of the former include the Apriori-based mining framework (Agrawal & Srikant, 1994), its performance enhancements (Park et al., 1997; Leung et al., 2002), and the tree-based mining framework (Han et al., 2000); examples of the latter include extensions of the initial notion of association rules to other rules such as dependence rules (Silverstein et al., 1998) and ratio rules (Korn et al., 1998). In general, most of these studies basically considered the data mining exercise in isolation. They did not explore how data mining can interact with the human user, which is a key component in the broader picture of knowledge discovery in databases. Hence, they provided little or no support for user focus. Consequently, the user usually needs to wait for a long period of time to get numerous association rules, out of which only a small fraction may be interesting to the user. In other words, the user often incurs a high computational cost that is disproportionate to what he wants to get. This calls for constraint-based association rule mining.

Association rule mining among frequent items has been extensively studied in data mining research. However, in recent years, there is an increasing demand for mining infrequent items (such as rare but expensive items). Since exploring interesting relationships among infrequent items has not been discussed much in the literature, in this chapter, the authors propose two simple, practical and effective schemes to mine association rules among rare items. Their algorithms can also be applied to frequent items with bounded length. Experiments are performed on the well-known IBM synthetic database. The authors’ schemes compare favorably to Apriori and FP-growth under the situation being evaluated. In addition, they explore quantitative association rule mining in transactional databases among infrequent items by associating quantities of items: some interesting examples are drawn to illustrate the significance of such mining.

Collaborative filtering uses data mining and analysis to develop a system that helps users make appropriate decisions in real-life applications by removing redundant information and providing valuable to information users. Data mining aims to extract from data the implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful information such as association rules that reveals relationships between frequently co-occurring patterns in antecedent and consequent parts of association rules. This chapter presents an algorithm called CF-Miner for collaborative filtering with association rule miner. The CF-Miner algorithm first constructs bitwise data structures to capture important contents in the data. It then finds frequent patterns from the bitwise structures. Based on the mined frequent patterns, the algorithm forms association rules. Finally, the algorithm ranks the mined association rules to recommend appropriate merchandise products, goods or services to users. Evaluation results show the effectiveness of CF-Miner in using association rule mining in collaborative filtering.

In recent years, a new research area known as privacy preserving data mining (PPDM) has emerged and captured the attention of many researchers interested in preventing the privacy violations that may occur during data mining. In this paper, we provide a review of studies on PPDM in the context of association rules (PPARM). This paper systematically defines the scope of this survey and determines the PPARM models. The problems of each model are formally described, and we discuss the relevant approaches, techniques and algorithms that have been proposed in the literature. A profile of each model and the accompanying algorithms are provided with a comparison of the PPARM models.

Existing data miming algorithms have mostly implemented data mining under centralized environment, but the large-scale database exists in the distributed form. According to the existing problem of the distributed data mining algorithm FDM and its improved algorithms, which exist the problem that the frequent itemsets are lost and network communication cost too much. This paper proposes a association rule mining algorithm based on distributed data (ARADD). The mapping marks the array mechanism is included in the ARADD algorithm, which can not only keep the integrity of the frequent itemsets, but also reduces the cost of network communication. The efficiency of algorithm is proved in the experiment.
