Re-Mining Association Mining Results Through Visualization, Data Envelopment Analysis, and Decision Trees

Re-mining is a general framework which suggests the execution of additional data mining steps based on the results of an original data mining process. This study investigates the multi-faceted re-mining of association mining results, develops and presents a practical methodology, and shows the applicability of the developed methodology through real world data. The methodology suggests re-mining using data visualization, data envelopment analysis, and decision trees. Six hypotheses, regarding how re-mining can be carried out on association mining results, are answered in the case study through empirical analysis
