Research of Mining the Meta-Association Rules Based on the Model of GM (1.1)

The association rule mining aims at the relationships between the items of the transaction data. Because the transaction data often has characteristics of time stamps, the support value and the confidence value of a certain rule are not quite the same in different periods of time. It is of great help to do further study and make a strategic decision to set up a Meta-association rule for the association rule, analyze and predict the change tendency of its support value and confidence value. By means of an example, this paper analyzes the usual mining process of the Meta-association Rules by the model of GM(1,1). It also evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of the model of GM(1.1) during the mining process.
