Research on the Multiple Minimum Supports Association Rules Mining

Data Mining is a cross-subject which is formed by artificial intelligence,pattern recognition,database,machine learning and management information system,etc.Mining association rules is one of the important research branches in data mining.Traditional association rule mining algorithms set a single minimum support threshold for all the items or item sets.But in real applications,different items have different occurrence frequencies.So the different items require vary minimum supports threshold.As a new research field of association rules mining,mining association rules with multiple minimum supports is regarded as all important research for mining association rules in rare items.
