Mining Complex Relationships in the SDSS SkyServer Spatial Database

In this paper 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: multi-feature colocation, self-co-location, one-to many relationships, self-exclusion and multi-feature exclusion. We report our results of mining complex relationships in data extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) database.
