Abstract

Prevalent co-location patterns (PCPs) expose the latent relationships between spatial instances and features on spatial data. Traditional PCPs treat spatial instances and features equally. However, in real life, spatial instances and features have different importance depending on their significance or meanings, this leads to traditional PCPs may lose their usefulness and meaningfulness. To address this deficiency, prevalent weighted co-location patterns (PWCPs) are proposed. In PWCP mining, each spatial instance is considered with its varied importance as its weight. The weight of a co-location pattern is determined by the weights of spatial features and instances involved in the pattern. Unfortunately, the weight metric does not satisfy the downward closure property, mining PWCPs becomes very expensive since unnecessary candidates cannot be pruned. To tackle this, an efficient PWCP mining framework is developed based on maximal cliques. This framework improves mining performance by reducing the searching PWCP candidates efficiently. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method are proved by the mining results on both spatial synthetic and real data sets.
