Association Rule Generation

This program is only developed for Data Mining course homework.

We will proposed a basic idea for creating Association rules corressponding to Apriori Algorithm.

The proposed program is just developed in order to practice the basic knowledge of data mining. there are still some conflicts if an amount of data is so huge!

Environment Requirement

• Programing - c++ (MinGW.org GCC-6.3.0-1)
• OS - Linux(bash), Windows10

How to complie the program ?

• Linux(Recommend) If you use linux to compile the program, just type make all in the terminal

  $make all
  

• Windows If use Window, please follow this command below

  $ g++ main.cpp -o main
  

Let run the program !

Type the following commands for both cases.

• Linux

  $ ./main <input_file> <min_support> <min_conf>
  

• Windows

  $ main.exe <input_file> <min_support> <min_conf> 
  

  Note that For both minimum support and minimum confidence, please put an integer number!. For example, If the minimum support is 2 and minimum confidence is 60%, type ..

  $ ./main input.txt 2 60
  

Sample output

If the rule generation is smoothly conducted, the output terminal should be below demonstrated.

Finally, the reult on screen will be writen in the .txt output file. The title will be named as:

$ .txt output file : Resut_<name of input file>.txt
