Abstract

The technology of data mining has a broad scope in banking, manufacturing, medical science, and business decision-making. In these applications, the most commonly used term is Frequent Itemset Mining Algorithms which is one of the vital parts of Association Rule Mining. The evolutionary improvement in FIM is Weighted Frequent Itemset Mining, and these algorithms can be executed on Certain/Probabilistic Uncertain databases for calculating important frequent itemsets, having weight and expected support equal to or greater than user-specified minimum weight or minimum probability, respectively. The weight for an itemset is calculated by taking an average of weights of all items in the itemset. In this case, if the weights of one or two items are very high compared to others than the average can be decided by only higher weights and ignore low values. In this research paper, OWA operator is used in place of the traditional mean for calculating the weight of an itemset. A new algorithm is developed in this research and executed on example database. The results show that the generated itemsets are less in the count but hold more importance.
