Agent Mining Framework for Analyzing Moroccan Olive Oil Datasets

Abstract

Data mining and intelligent agents have become two promising research areas. Each intelligent agent functions independently while cooperating with other agents, to perform effectively assigned tasks. The main goal of this research, is to provide a mining implementation that can help biological researchers for discovering parameters that affect the cost of olive oil in Morocco. To solve this problem, we used a method involving two data mining techniques, clustering of variables, quantitative association rules and multi-agent system to fuse these two techniques. Therefore, we have developed a multi-agent framework that has been validated by using concrete data from the Provincial Direction of Agriculture of Berkane, Morocco. To prove the performance of our framework, we tested the proposed multi-agent tool using three datasets from different fields. Conforming to biological researchers, our method generates a clear knowledge because the framework proposes high-confidence rules that can correctly identify olive oil factors.
