Abstract

The discovery of quantitative association rules in largedatabases is considered an interesting and important researchproblem. Recently, different aspects of the problem have beenstudied, and several algorithms have been presented in theliterature, among others in (Srikant and Agrawal, 1996; Fukuda etal., 1996a; Fukuda et al., 1996b; Yoda et al., 1997; Miller and Yang,1997). An aspect of the problem that has so far been ignored, is itscomputational complexity. In this paper, we study the computationalcomplexity of mining quantitative association rules.
