Logical Aspects of Dealing with Domain Knowledge in Data Mining with Association Rules
Jan Rauch · Fundamenta Informaticae · 2016
Association rules are introduced as general relations of two general Boolean attributes derived from columns of an analysed data matrix. Expressive power of such association rules makes possible to use various items of domain knowledge in data mining. Each particular item of domain knowledge is map ped to a set of simple association rules. Simple association rules together with their logical consequences are understood as a set of consequences of a given item of domain knowledge. Such sets of consequences are used when interpreting results of a data mining procedure. Logical deduction plays a crucial role in this approach. New results on related deduction rules are presented.
