Standardized card of accounts for the iron mining industry
The main purpose of the committee was to devise a standard card of accounts which would control the general or face cost sheet of all iron mining operations in order that each general cost sheet may be strictly comparable in all of the items appearing on it with each and every other general cost sheet. Whatever may be the departure from the details of the system here presented, it is desired that the items on the general cost sheet shall conform to those on the general or face cost sheet presented in the classification. If this is done, the difficulties of summarizing the various items of cost will be removed and, of more importance, summarized cost statements for the industry or any integral part of it may be compiled with entire confidence in the correctness of the end results
Evolving temporal association rules with genetic algorithms
A novel framework for mining temporal association rules by discovering itemsets with a genetic algorithm is introduced. Metaheuristics have been applied to association rule mining, we show the efficacy of extending this to another variant - temporal association rule mining. Our framework is an enhancement to existing temporal association rule mining methods as it employs a genetic algorithm to simultaneously search the rule space and temporal space. A methodology for validating the ability of the proposed framework isolates target temporal itemsets in synthetic datasets. The Iterative Rule Learning method successfully discovers these targets in datasets with varying levels of difficulty
FP-tree and COFI Based Approach for Mining of Multiple Level Association Rules in Large Databases
In recent years, discovery of association rules among itemsets in a large
database has been described as an important database-mining problem. The
problem of discovering association rules has received considerable research
attention and several algorithms for mining frequent itemsets have been
developed. Many algorithms have been proposed to discover rules at single
concept level. However, mining association rules at multiple concept levels may
lead to the discovery of more specific and concrete knowledge from data. The
discovery of multiple level association rules is very much useful in many
applications. In most of the studies for multiple level association rule
mining, the database is scanned repeatedly which affects the efficiency of
mining process. In this research paper, a new method for discovering multilevel
association rules is proposed. It is based on FP-tree structure and uses
cooccurrence frequent item tree to find frequent items in multilevel concept
hierarchy.Comment: Pages IEEE format, International Journal of Computer Science and

Class Association Rules Mining based Rough Set Method
This paper investigates the mining of class association rules with rough set
approach. In data mining, an association occurs between two set of elements
when one element set happen together with another. A class association rule set
(CARs) is a subset of association rules with classes specified as their
consequences. We present an efficient algorithm for mining the finest class
rule set inspired form Apriori algorithm, where the support and confidence are
computed based on the elementary set of lower approximation included in the
property of rough set theory. Our proposed approach has been shown very
effective, where the rough set approach for class association discovery is much
simpler than the classic association method.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
Association Mining in Database Machine
Association rule is wildly used in most of the data mining technologies. Apriori algorithm is the fundamental association rule mining algorithm. FP-growth tree algorithm improves the performance by reduce the generation of the frequent item sets. Simplex algorithm is a advanced FP-growth algorithm by using bitmap structure with the simplex concept in geometry. The bitmap structure implementation is particular designed for storing the data in database machines to support parallel computing the association rule mining
