The increased use of data mining algorithms reflects the need for automatic extraction of knowledge from large volumes of data. This work presents a temporal data mining algorithm that discovers frequent Association Rules from timestamped data. These rules are named Cause-Effect Rules, each represented by a multiset of unordered events (Cause) followed by a singleton event (Effect). Also, a Cause-Effect Rule is valid within an specific constraint that defines the minimum and maximum time distance between its Cause and Effect. Our algorithm was tested on a data set from two hospital emergency departments in Sherbrooke, QC, Canada.
