Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Associations in data mining refer to the identification of relationships or correlations between different items or events, where the occurrence of one item or event is connected to the occurrence of another within the same transaction or event. This does not necessarily involve time sequences (which would be sequences, not associations), classification into pre-defined groups, or the discovery of new groupings without predefined categories.
