An Overview of Association Rule Mining Algorithms

Data is important property for everyone. Large amount of data is available in the world. There are various repositories to store the data into data warehouses, databases, information repository etc. This large amount of data needs to process so that we can get useful information. Data mining is a technique to process data, select it, integrate it and retrieve some useful information. Data mining is an analytical tool which allows users to analyse data, categories it and summaries the relationships among the data. It discovers the useful information from large amount of relational databases. Data mining can perform these various activities using its technique like clustering, classification, prediction, association learning etc. This paper presents an overview of association rule mining algorithms. Algorithms are discussed with proper example and compared based on some performance factors like accuracy, data support, execution speed etc.
