Mining complex relationships in the SDSS skyserver spatial database
Bavani Arunasalam, Sanjay Chawla, Pei Sun, R. Munro · 2004
We describe the process of mining complex relationships in spatial databases using the maximal participation index (maxPI), which has a property of discovering low support and high confidence rules. Complex relationships are defined as those involving two or more of: multifeature co-location, self-co-location, one-to many relationships, self-exclusion and multifeature exclusion. We report our results of mining complex relationships in data extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) database.
