Abstract

Discovering association rules among items in large databases is a recognized database mining problem. In the paper, we address the issue of association rules generation in the context of changing user requirements. The data mining system user is frequently interested in results of mining around rules that consists in examining how change of attribute values or addition of new attributes influences the discovered dependencies. The set of association rules is often huge. However it is possible to represent it with usually much smaller set of representative rules. If needed, the user can derive all association rules from the set of representative rules syntactically by means of a cover operator. Incremental solutions of mining around representative rules are discussed in the paper as well.
