文摘The problem of association rule mining has gained considerableprominence in the data mining community for its use as an important tool of knowledge discovery from large-scale databases. And there has been a spurt of researchactivities around this problem. Traditional association rule mining is limited tointratransaction. Only recently the concept of N-dimensional inter-transaction association rule (NDITAR) was proposed by H.J. Lu. This paper modifies and extendsLu's definition of NDITAR based on the analysis of its limitations, and the generalized multidimensional association rule (GMDAR) is subsequently introduced, whichis more general, flexible and reasonable than NDITAR.
