Association rules mining algorithm for cold-rolling processes
Pang Gufeng · Journal of Tsinghua University(Science and Technology) · 2007
An incremental mining algorithm was developed to overcome limitations in the Apriori algorithm which can not find trends in association rules.The improved Apriori algorithm is able to identify information inside the rules through the transformation between strong rules and alternate rules by variations in the association rule statistical data.The decision-making reliability is enhanced by the association rules obtained from the improved algorithm.The algorithm was used to forecast the output of a cold-rolling process with test results showing that the prediction precision of the algorithm was 30% better than that of the traditional Apriori algorithm.
