Optimal Distributive Genetic Algorithm for
Mining Association Rules.
2
To propose and implement Self adaptive
Distributive Genetic Algorithm for Association
Rule Mining.
Objective
Extraction of interesting information or
patterns from data in large databases is known
as data mining.
Data Mining
3
Association analysis is the discovery of what are
commonly called association rules.
It studies the frequency of items occurring together in
transactional databases
Association rule mining provides valuable
information in assessing significant correlations.

ASSOCIATION ANALYSIS

Association Rules
Find all the rules X Y with
minimum support and
confidence
Support, s, probability that a
transaction contains X Y
Confidence, c, conditional
probability that a transaction
having X also contains Y
Let minsup = 50%, minconf = 50%

GENETIC ALGORITHM
A Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a procedure used to
find approximate solutions to search problems
through the application of the principles of
evolutionary biology.
Genetic algorithms use biologically inspired
techniques such as genetic inheritance, natural
selection, mutation, and sexual reproduction
(recombination, or crossover).

Conceptual Algorithm
[Start] Generate random population of n chromosomes (suitable
solutions for the problem)
[Fitness] Evaluate the fitness f(x) of each chromosome x in the population
[New population] Create a new population by repeating the following
steps until the new population is complete
A.[Selection] Select two parent chromosomes from a population
according to their fitness (the better fitness, the bigger chance to be
selected)
B.[Crossover] With a crossover probability cross over the parents to
form a new offspring (children). If no crossover was performed,
offspring is an exact copy of parents.
C.[Mutation] With a mutation probability mutate new offspring at each
locus (position in chromosome).
D.[Accepting] Place new offspring in a new population
[Replace] Use new generated population for a further run of algorithm
[Test] If the end condition is satisfied, stop, and return the best solution
in current population
[Loop] Go to step 2

Existing Work
From the literature survey done the following were observed

I. Genetic Operations
I.I Encoding
Chromosomes are of either fixed length or varying length
Fuzzy rules are encoded as chromosomes.
Natural numbers used for encoding
Gene expressions also encoded
I.II Initial Population
Seeded by random selection (roulette wheel)
Seeded by users
Single rule sets generated
Fuzzy rules represented
I.III Crossover
Locus point of crossover
On same attributes or random attributes
Set crossover rate dynamically
Symbiotic combination

I.IV Mutation
Locus point of mutation
Weight factor taken into consideration for deciding locus point
Dynamic mutation point
Mutation 1 and Mutation 2 generated

I.V Fitness Threshold
Dynamically set
TP,TN, FP,FN criteria considered
Strength of implication taken into consideration
Sustainability index, creditable index and inclusive index considered
Real values of Confidence and Support derived and applied
Predictability and Comprehensibility factors considered.
