New Multidimensional Association Rule Mining Algorithm

Association rules mining is very important in the application of data mining.In this paper,a method of mining Multidimensional Association Rule is proposed based on the combination of genetic algorithm and ant algorithm. The new algorithm has the outstanding capacity for global searching. It overcomes the weakness in local searching of the inheritance algorithm and the slowness of ant algorithm. The experimental results show that this new algorithm has proven its significant performance in the sparse multidimensional association rule mining.
