Research on Weighted Fuzzy Association Rules
加权模糊关联规则的研究

Algorithms for mining quantitative association rules consider each attribute equally, but the attributes usually have different importance. Two kinds of algorithms for mining the weighted fuzzy association rules are provided with respect to two kinds of database. The first algorithm can effectively consider the importance of quantitative attributes , and considers that the importance of association rule is not increased with the amount of attributes in the rule. The second algorithm not only considers the importance of quantitative attributes, but also considers that the importance of association rule is increased with the amount of attributes in the rule.
