Publication number: 20220374748Abstract: A determination is made of an explanatory variable with respect to an objective variable. A subset of data from data to be analyzed is created, in response to setting the objective variable to be analyzed to perform analysis. Association analysis is applied to analysis results, in response to a number of analysis runs exceeding a predetermined number. An association rule is derived for the explanatory variable from a result of the association analysis. An explanatory variable having a relevance value greater than a threshold value with the objective variable in the data to be analyzed is selected. The selected explanatory variable is scored as an input using the association rule to determine whether the explanatory variable is to be added or removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Hiromi KOBAYASHI, Masaharu SAKAMOTO, Yasue MAKINO, Hirokazu KOBAYASHI

Patent number: 11270321Abstract: Reducing noise during association analysis is provided. An association model is generated having a support value with respect to original data greater than a predefined minimum support value threshold level. A number of association rules corresponding to the association model are identified. It is determined whether the number of association rules corresponding to the association model is less than a predefined maximum number of association rules. In response to determining that the number of association rules corresponding to the association model is greater than the predefined maximum number of association rules, inverted data of the original data is generated. Another association model is generated having the support value with respect to the original data and the inverted data greater than the predefined minimum support value threshold level.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yusuke Matsumoto, Yasue Makino, Hirokazu Kobayashi, Hiromi Kobayashi
