The last decade has witnessed tremendous advances in data mining. We take a retrospective look at these developments, focusing on association rules discovery, and discuss the chal...
A connection-chain refers to a mechanism in which someone recursively logs into a host, then from there logs into another host, and so on. Connection-chains represent an important...
Existing association rule mining algorithms suffer from many problems when mining massive transactional datasets. Some of these major problems are: (1) the repetitive I/O disk sca...
Itemset share has been proposed as a measure of the importance of itemsets for mining association rules. The value of the itemset share can provide useful information such as total...
One of the most important tasks for determining association rules consists of calculating all the maximal frequent itemsets. Specifically, some methods to obtain these itemsets hav...
