A Survey on Association Rule Mining

Task of extracting useful and interesting knowledge from large data is called data mining. It has many aspects like clustering, classification, association mining, outlier detection, regression etc. Among them association rule mining is one of the important aspect for data mining. Best example of association rule mining is market-basket analysis. Applications of association rule mining are stock analysis, web log mining, medical diagnosis, customer market analysis bioinformatics etc. In past, many algorithms were developed by researchers for Boolean and Fuzzy association rule mining such as Apriori, FP-tree, Fuzzy FP-tree etc. we are discussing them in detail in later section of this paper.
