Abstract

In this paper, we present an analysis of behavior of objective rule evaluation indices on classification rule sets using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients between each index. To support data mining post-processing, which is one of important procedures in a data mining process, at least 40 indices are proposed to find out valuable knowledge. However, their behavior have never been clearly articulated. Therefore, we carried out a correlation analysis between each objective rule evaluation indices. In this analysis, we calculated average values of each index using bootstrap method on 32 classification rule sets learned with information gain ratio. Then, we found the following relationships based on the correlation coefficient values: similar pairs, discrepant pairs, and independent indices. With regarding to this result, we discuss about relative functional relationships between each group of objective indices.
