Abstract

Association rules and clustering are fundamental data mining techniques used for different goals. We propose a unifying theory by proving association support and rule confidence can be bounded and estimated from clusters on binary dimensions. Three support metrics are introduced: lower, upper and average support. Three confidence metrics are proposed: lower, upper and average confidence. Clusters represent a simple model that allows understanding and approximating association rules, instead of searching for them in a large transaction data set.
