System and method for discovering predictive association rules
Patent 6182070 Issued on January 30, 2001. Estimated Expiration Date: August 21, 2018. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.
A system and method for determining the significance of association rules which are mined from a dataset is provided. Predictive association rules may also be generated based on the significance of an association rule. The statistical significance of an association rule may be used to estimate the number of false discoveries in a dataset or to rank discovered association rules by statistical significance to permit the user of the system to view the most statistically significant association rules first.
