Abstract

Handling of missing values is a very common in data processing. However, data values may be missing not only because of lack of information, but also because of undefinedness (such as asking for the age of non-married person’s spouse). The aim of this paper is to propose an extension of fuzzy association rules framework for data with undefined values.
