Abstract
We propose an approach to subgroup discovery using distribution rules (a kind of association rules with a probability distribution on the consequent) for numerical properties of interest. The objective interest of the subgroups is measured through statistical goodness of fit tests. Their subjective interest can be assessed by the data analyst through a visual interactive subgroup browsing procedure.
