Abstract
A dense data-set mining system and method is provided that directly exploits all user-specified constraints including minimum support, minimum confidence, and a new constraint, known as minimum gap, which prunes any rule having conditions that do not contribute to its predictive accuracy. The method maintains efficiency even at low supports on data that is dense in the sense that many items appear with high frequency (e.g. relational data).
