DATA MINING USING CATEGORICAL ATTRIBUTES

摘要

Embodiments disclosed herein are related to determining patterns of related attributes in accessed or received data. Data that is associated with attributes that describe information corresponding to the data is accessed or received. The data is grouped into one or more subsets that include data having matching combinations of the attributes. For each of the subsets, attributes of the combination of attributes associated with the subset are iteratively removed to thereby increase the amount of data included in each subset. After iteratively removing the attributes, each subset is scored to determine one or more patterns related to the combination of attributes.
