Association rule mining is a machine learning technique used to discover relationships between variables in large datasets. It identifies frequent patterns and determines strong rules that suggest if a particular item is present, then another item will often be present as well. Popular algorithms for generating association rules, such as Apriori, analyze transaction data to identify itemsets that frequently occur together according to minimum support and confidence thresholds. Association rule mining is useful for applications like market basket analysis, product recommendations, and predicting customer behavior.

Association Rule in Traditional Data Sets. Introduction ● Association rules are if-then statements. ● It shows the probability of relationships. ● It has a number of applications. ● Help discover sales correlations in transactional data or in medical data sets. How association rules work? ● It involves the use of machine learning models. ● To analyze:- data for patterns, or co-occurrence, in a database. ● It identifies frequent if-then associations, which are called Association Rules. How association rules work?
● Association rules are created by searching data for
frequent if-then patterns. ● And by using the criteria support and confidence. ● To identify the most important relationships. ● Support is an indication. How association rules work?
● Association rules are calculated from itemsets.
● If rules are built from analyzing all the possible itemsets. ● There could be so many rules that the rules hold little meaning. ● With that, association rules are typically created from rules well-represented in data Association Rule Algorithms
● Popular algorithms that use association rules include AIS, SETM,
Apriori and variations of the latter. ● With the AIS algorithm, itemsets are generated and counted as it scans the data ● In transaction data, the AIS algorithm determines which large itemsets contained a transaction, and new candidate itemsets are created by extending the large itemsets with other items in the transaction data. Association Rule Algorithms
● The SETM algorithm also generates candidate itemsets as it scans a
database, but this algorithm accounts for the itemsets at the end of its scan. ● With the Apriori algorithm, candidate itemsets are generated using only the large itemsets of the previous pass. ● The Apriori algorithm considers any subset of a frequent itemset to also be a frequent itemset. Uses of association rules in data mining ● In data mining, association rules are useful for analyzing and predicting customer behavior. They play an important part in customer analytics, market basket analysis, product clustering, catalog design and store layout. ● Programmers use association rules to build programs capable of machine learning. Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that seeks to build programs with the ability to become more efficient without being explicitly programmed. Examples of association rules in data mining ● A classic example of association rule mining refers to a relationship between diapers and beers. The example, which seems to be fictional, claims that men who go to a store to buy diapers are also likely to buy beer. Data that would point to that might look like this: ● A supermarket has 200,000 customer transactions. About 4,000 transactions, or about 2% of total transactions, include the purchase of diapers.
