Abstract

Association rule mining is based on associations of attribute values in a database. To facilitate finding meaningful rules, we segment the database by a categorization of database records based on a taxonomy on one of the attribute value sets. To test the value of this approach we have applied it to a large database about treatment impacts on autistic children. The segmented analyses lead to interestingly, different results from the analyses done without segmentation.
