Abstract

This paper presents a new philosophical view and methodology for data mining. A framework of explanation oriented data mining is proposed and studied with respect to association mining. The notion of conditional associations is adopted, which explicitly expresses the conditions under which an association occurs. To illustrate the basic ideas, the theory of rough sets is used to construct explanations.
