  • System and methods for interactive displays based on associations for machine-guided rule creation
    Patent number: 9251465
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a computer-program product, system, method and apparatus for accessing a representation of a category or item and accessing a set of multiple transactions. The transactions are processed to identify items found amongst the transactions, and the items are ordered based on an information-gain heuristic. A depth-first search for a group of best association rules is then conducted using a best-first heuristic and constraints that make the search efficient. The best rules found during the search can then be displayed to a user, along with accompanying statistics. The user can then select rules that appear to be most relevant, and further analytics can be applied to the selected rules to obtain further information about the information provided by these rules.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 19, 2015
    Date of Patent: February 2, 2016
    Assignee: SAS Institute Inc.
    Inventors: James Allen Cox, Zheng Zhao, Arila Barnes, Jared Peterson, Samantha DuPont, Russel Albright, Barry DeVille
