Regarding the existence of more than sixty interestingness measures proposed in the literature since 1993 till today in the topics of association rules mining and facing the importance these last one, the research on normalization probabilistic quality measures of association rules has already led to many tangible results to consolidate the various existing measures in the literature. This article recommends a simple way to perform this normalization. In the interest of a unified presentation, the article offers also a new concept of normalization function as an effective tool for resolution of the problem of normalization measures that have already their own normalization functions.

Aiming at the shortcomings of the traditional "support-confidence" association rules mining framework and the problems of mining negative association rules, the concept of interestingness measure is introduced. Analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of some commonly used interestingness measures at present, and combined the cosine measure on the basis of the interestingness measure model based on the difference idea, and proposed a new interestingness measure model. The interestingness measure can effectively express the relationship between the antecedent and the subsequent part of the rule. According to this model, an association rules mining algorithm based on the interestingness measure fusion model is proposed to improve the accuracy of mining. Experiments show that the algorithm has better performance and can effectively help mining positive and negative association rules.

In the context of binary data mining, for unifying view on probabilistic quality measures of association rules, Totohasina’s theory of normalization of quality measures of association rules primarily based on affine homeomorphism presents some drawbacks. Indeed, it cannot normalize some interestingness measures which are explained below. This paper presents an extension of it, as a new normalization method based on proper homographic homeomorphism that appears most consequent.

Association rules provide a concise statement of potentially useful information, and have been widely used in real applications. However, the usefulness of association rules highly depends on the interestingness measure which is used to select interesting rules from millions of candidates. In this study, a probability analysis of association rules is conducted, and a discrete kernel density estimation based interestingness measure is proposed accordingly. The new proposed interestingness measure makes the most of the information contained in the data set and obtains much lower falsely discovery rate than the existing interestingness measures. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed interestingness measure.

Association rules mining is an important topic in the domain of data mining and knowledge discovering. Some papers have presented several interestingness measure methods; the most typical areSupport,Confidence,Lift,Improve, and so forth. But their limitations are obvious, like no objective criterion, lack of statistical base, disability of defining negative relationship, and so forth. This paper proposes three new methods,Bi-lift, Bi-improve, andBi-confidence, forLift, Improve, and Confidence, respectively. Then, on the basis of utility function and the executing cost of rules, we propose interestingness function based on profit (IFBP) considering subjective preferences and characteristics of specific application object. Finally, a novel measure framework is proposed to improve the traditional one through experimental analysis. In conclusion, the new methods and measure framework are prior to the traditional ones in the aspects of objective criterion, comprehensive definition, and practical application.
