Abstract

Ever since Data Mining first appeared, a considerable amount of algorithms, methods and techniques have been developed. As a result of research, most of these algorithms have proved to be more effective and efficient. For solving problems different algorithms are often compared. However, algorithms that use different approaches are not very often applied jointly to obtain better results. An approach based on the joining of a predictive model (rough sets) together with a link analysis model (the Apriori algorithm) is presented in this paper.

This work has been partially supported by UPM under project ”Design of a Data Warehouse to be integrated with a Data Mining system”
