Indexing and Data Access Methods for Database Mining
Ganesh Ramesh, William A. Maniatty, Mohammed Javeed Zaki · 2001
Most of today's techniques for data mining and association rule mining (ARM) in particular, can be aptly termed "flat file mining", since the database is typically transformed to a flat file that is input to the mining software. Previous research in the integration of ARM with databases looked largely at exploiting language (SQL) as a tool for implementing mining algorithms. In this paper we explore an alternative approach, using various data access methods and systems programming techniques to study the efficiency of mining data.
