It enumerates and tests a large number of rules on a dataset and outputs rules that satisfy user-specified constraints. Due to the large number of rules being tested, rules that do not represent real systematic effect in the data can satisfy the given constraints purely by random chance. Hence association rule mining often suffers from a high risk of false positive errors. There is a lack of comprehensive study on controlling false positives in association rule mining. In this paper, we adopt three multiple testing correction approaches---the direct adjustment approach, the permutation-based approach and the holdout approach---to control false positives in association rule mining, and conduct extensive experiments to study their performance. Our results show that (1) Numerous spurious rules are generated if no correction is made. (2) The three approaches can control false positives effectively. Among the three approaches, the permutation-based approach has the highest power of detecting real association rules, but it is very computationally expensive. We employ several techniques to reduce its cost effectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14778\/2078324.2078330","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,24]],"date-time":"2014-06-24T12:17:57Z","timestamp":1403612277000},"page":"145-156","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Controlling false positives in association rule mining"],"prefix":"10.14778","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Guimei","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National University of Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haojun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National University of Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Limsoon","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National University of Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","volume-title":"Bonferroni and \u0160id\u00e1k corrections for multiple comparisons.
