The extraction of IF-THEN rules from data is a promising task of data mining including both Artificial Intelligence and Statistics. One of the difficulties encountered is how to evaluate the relevance of the extracted rules? Many authors use statistical interestingness measures to evaluate the relevance of each rule (taken alone). Recently, few research works have done a synthesis study of the existing interestingness measures but their study presents some limits. In this paper, firstly, we present an overview of related works studying more than forty interestingness measures. Secondly, we establish a list of nineteen other interestingness measures not referenced by the related works. Then, we identify twelve semantic properties characterizing the behavior of interestingness measures. Finally, we did a theoretical study of sixty two interestingness measures by outlining their semantic properties. The results of this study are useful to the users of a data-mining system in order to help them to choose an appropriate measure. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
