Abstract

Most of the real market basket data are non-binary in the sense that an item could be purchased multiple times in the same transaction. In this case, there are two types of occurrences of an itemset in a database: the number of transactions in the database containing the itemset, and the number of occurrences of the itemset in the database. Traditional support-confidence framework might not be adequate for extracting association rules in such a database. In this paper, we introduce three categories of association rules. We introduce a framework based on traditional support-confidence framework for mining each category of association rules. We present experimental results based on two databases.
