Extracting highly positive association rules from students' enrollment data

Association Rules Mining is one of the popular techniques used in data mining. Positive association rules are very useful in correlation analysis and decision making processes. In educational context, determine a “right” program to the students is very unclear especially when their chosen programs a...
