Mining spatial association rules with no distance parameter

Abstract

The paper focuses on finding spatial association rules. A new approachto mining spatial association rules is proposed. The neighborhood is defined interms of the Delaunay diagrams, instead of predefining distance thresholds withextra runs. Once a Delaunay diagram is created, it is used for determining neighborhoods,and then, based on this knowledge it continues with finding associationrules. © 2006 Springer.
