The paper proposes an equivalence relation using the closure of itemset to partition the solution set into disjoint equivalence classes and a new, efficient representation of the rules in each class based on the lattice of closed itemsets and their generators. The paper also develops a new algorithm, called MAR-MINSC, to rapidly mine all constrained rules from the lattice instead of mining them directly from the database. | An efficient method for mining association rules based on minimum single constraints
