Abstract

DataMining is most commonly used in attempts to induce association rules from transaction data which can help decision-makers easily analyze the data and make good decisions regarding the domains concerned. Most conventional studies are focused on binary or discrete-valued transaction data, however the data in real-world applications usually consists of quantitative values. In the last years, many researches have proposed Genetic Algorithms for mining interesting association rules from quantitative data. In this paper, we present a study of three genetic association rules extraction methods to show their effectiveness for mining quantitative association rules. Experimental results over two real-world databases are showed.
