Exploring Urban Tree Site Planting Selection in Mexico City through Association Rules

In this paper we present an exploration of association rules determine planting sites considering urban tree’s characteristics. In first step itemsets and rules are generated using the unsupervised algorithm Apriori. They are rapidly characterized in terms of tree planting sites. In a second step planting sites are fixed as target values to establish rules (a supervised version of the a priori algorithm). An original approach is also presented and validated for the prediction of the planting site of the species.
