Abstract

Sequential rule mining is a well-established data mining technique for binary valued data. Many variations have been proposed, most approaches use the support-confidence-lift framework. Existing approaches make assumptions concerning the definition of what a sequence is. However, this definition is application dependent. In this paper we look at sequential rule mining with respect to multi-morbidity disease prediction which entails a rethink of the definition of what a sequence is, and a consequent rethink of the operation of the support-confidence-lift framework. A novel sequential rule mining algorithm is proposed designed to address the challenge of multi-morbidity disease prediction. The SEquential RElational N-DIsease Pattern (SERENDIP) algorithm.
