LISP-Miner procedures • DataSource creating new (virtual) attributes using SQL ekvidistant and equifrequent discretization grouping attribute values computing attribute-value frequencies MiningMart prezentation (c) Petr Berka, LISp, 2001
LISP-Miner procedures • 4FT-Miner (GUHA procedure) 4FT association rules in the form Ant ~ Suc / Cond • KEX weighted decision rules in the form Ant C (weight) MiningMart prezentation (c) Petr Berka, LISp, 2001
4FT-Miner basic idea • Generate a (potential) rule, e.g. COLOUR(red) SIZE(small) 0.9, 20 TEMP(high) AGE(21-30) SALARY(low) 0.85,15 PAYMENTS (High) LOAN(bad) • Verify a rule using four-fold table MiningMart prezentation (c) Petr Berka, LISp, 2001
KEX basic idea • Generate a (potential) rule, e.g. YEARS-IN-COMPANY(0-3) AGE(0-25) LOAN(GOOD) • If rule refines current set of rules (validity a/(a+b) differs from weight inferred during consultation) add into rule base with proper weight MiningMart prezentation (c) Petr Berka, LISp, 2001
