Abstract

Association rules allow to mine large datasets to automatically discover relations between variables. In order to take into account both qualitative and quantitative variables, fuzzy logic has been applied and many association rule extraction algorithms have been fuzzified.
In this paper, we propose a fuzzy adaptation of the well-known Close algorithm which relies on the closure of itemsets. The Close-algorithm needs less passes over the dataset and is suitable when variables are correlated. The algorithm is then compared to other on public datasets.
