Mining Optimized Association Rules for Numeric Attributes

Summary: Mine rules of the form (numeric range) ⇒ Boolean, optimizing either max-support with confidence ≥ p or max-confidence with support ≥ s. Novel linear-time computational-geometry algorithms on sorted data plus randomized bucketing to avoid expensive sorts, enabling practical scalable mining across hundreds of attributes.
