Interaction as an Interestingness Measure
Martin McGrane, Simon Kar-Sing Poon · 2010
Detecting interesting patterns in data has been a focus of recent work in knowledge discovery. Understanding the patterns of interaction between attributes is relevant to many fields. Existing measures of interestingness do not adequately detect these interaction patterns. Here we present a new measure that explores the interactions to be found in data. We combine this interestingness measure with statistical validation to find reliable and interesting interactions.
