Relative Risk and Odds Ratio: A Data Mining Perspective

Summary: Formulates mining for patterns with high relative risk and odds ratio (prospective vs retrospective), addressing a gap in model-free association discovery. Stratifies pattern space into convex support plateaus and gives sound, complete algorithms to extract most-general/specific patterns as efficiently as frequent-closed mining.
