Types of Association Rules in Data Mining

Association rule learning is a machine learning technique used for discovering interesting
relationships between variables in large databases. It is designed to detect strong rules in the
database based on some interesting metrics. For any given multi-item transaction, association
rules aim to obtain rules that determine how or why certain items are linked. Association
rules are created for finding information about general if-then patterns using specific criteria
with support and trust to define what the key relationships are. They help to show the
frequency of an item in specific data since confidence is defined by the number of times an
if-then statement is found to be true.

 Types of Association Rules:


There are various types of association rules in data mining:-
 Multi-relational association rules
 Generalized association rules
 Quantitative association rules
 Interval information association rules
1. Multi-relational association rules: Multi-Relation Association Rules (MRAR) is a new
class of association rules, different from original, simple, and even multi-relational
association rules (usually extracted from multi-relational databases), each rule element
consists of one entity but many a relationship. These relationships represent indirect
relationships between entities.
2.MultilevelAssociationRule:
@Association rules created from mining information at different degrees of reflection are
called various level or staggered association rules. @Multilevel association rules can be
mined effectively utilizing idea progressions under a help certainty system. @Rules at a high
idea level may add to good judgment while rules at a low idea level may not be valuable
consistently.
2. Generalized association rules: Generalized association rule extraction is a powerful tool
for getting a rough idea of interesting patterns hidden in data. However, since patterns are
extracted at each level of abstraction, the mined rule sets may be too large to be used
effectively for decision-making. Therefore, in order to discover valuable and interesting
knowledge, post-processing steps are often required. Generalized association rules should
have categorical (nominal or discrete) properties on both the left and right sides of the rule.
3. Quantitative association rules: Quantitative association rules is a special type of
association rule. Unlike general association rules, where both left and right sides of the rule
should be categorical (nominal or discrete) attributes, at least one attribute (left or right) of
quantitative association rules must contain numeric attributes

Uses of Association Rules - Some of the uses of association rules in different fields are given
below:

 Medical Diagnosis: Association rules in medical diagnosis can be used to help doctors
cure patients. As all of us know that diagnosis is not an easy thing, and there are many
errors that can lead to unreliable end results. Using the multi-relational association rule,
we can determine the probability of disease occurrence associated with various factors
and symptoms.
 Market Basket Analysis: It is one of the most popular examples and uses of association
rule mining. Big retailers typically use this technique to determine the association
between items.
