基于Ⅰ-Miner的关联规则可视化方法

Visualization Method of Association Rules Based on Ⅰ-Miner

Ⅰ-Miner缺少关联规则可视化方法,且目前的关联规则可视化方法存在不少缺陷,如歧义、遮蔽和紊乱等。本文提出了改进的平行线法和改进的U矩阵法,利用颜色、文字和线条相结合,解决了歧义问题和图形遮蔽问题;采用了分页显示的方法,尽可能地避免了规则显示时的紊乱。两种改进法是对I-Miner软件缺少关联规则可视化方法的弥补。

Software Ⅰ-Miner is lack of visualization methods of association rules,and existed visualization methods of association rules have many shortcomings,such as ambiguity,shelter,disorder and so on.The paper presented two visualization methods,named improved parallel methods and improved U-matrix methods,which solved the ambiguity and shelter problem by using the combination of color,words,and lines;and avoided the disorder problem using page display of the rules.The two methods made up for the lack of visualization methods of association rules in software Ⅰ-Miner.
