The Development of Relative Interestingness Measure for Comparing with Degrees of Association

Data mining is the technique to find useful information in huge databases. One of the well-studied problems in data mining is exploration for association rules. An association rule technique finds the relation among each items in massive volume databases by several interestingness measures. An important and useful classification scheme of interestingness measures may be based on user-involvement. This results in two categories - objective and subjective measures. This paper present some relative interestingess measures to compare with degrees of association for two groups. A comparative study with some relative interestingness measures is shown by numerical example. The results show that the relative net confidence is the best relative interestingness measure.
