SMARViz: Soft Maximal Association Rules Visualization

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 5857))

Abstract

Maximal association rule is one of the popular data mining techniques. However, no current research has found that allow for the visualization of the captured maximal rules. In this paper, SMARViz (Soft Maximal Association Rules Visualization), an approach for visualizing soft maximal association rules is proposed. The proposed approach contains four main steps, including discovering, visualizing maximal supported sets, capturing and finally visualizing the maximal rules under soft set theory.
