ODAM: an optimized distributed association rule mining algorithm
Mafruz Zaman Ashrafi, David Taniar, K. Smith · IEEE Distributed Systems Online · 2004
Association rule mining is an active data mining research area. However, most ARM algorithms cater to a centralized environment. In contrast to previous ARM algorithms, we have developed a distributed algorithm, called optimized distributed association mining, for geographically distributed data sets. ODAM generates support counts of candidate itemsets quicker than the other DARM algorithms and reduces the size of average transactions, data sets, and message exchanges.
