Fuzzy associative rule-based approach for pattern mining and identification and pattern-based classification
Ashish Mangalampalli, Vikram Pudi · 2011
Associative Classification leverages Association Rule Mining (ARM) to train Rule-based classifiers. The classifiers are built on high quality Association Rules mined from the given dataset. Associative Classifiers are very accurate because Association Rules encapsulate all the dominant and statistically significant relationships between items in the dataset. They are also very robust as noise in the form of insignificant and low-frequency itemsets are eliminated during the mining and training stages. Moreover, the rules are easy-to-comprehend, thus making the classifier transparent.
