Toward a Theory of Normalizing Function of Interestingness Measure of Binary Association Rules

Abstract EN

Regarding the existence of more than sixty interestingness measures proposed in the literature since 1993 till today in the topics of association rules mining and facing the importance these last one, the research on normalization probabilistic quality measures of association rules has already led to many tangible results to consolidate the various existing measures in the literature.

This article recommends a simple way to perform this normalization.

In the interest of a unified presentation, the article offers also a new concept of normalization function as an effective tool for resolution of the problem of normalization measures that have already their own normalization functions.
