Data mining is used to extract hidden, predictive information from large databases, which can be used for predicting future trends and allowing businesses to make knowledge-driven decisions [1].In this paper we explain how Apriori algorithm can be applied on the university's library transactional database in order to find out the frequent book items and generate rules on these book items so as to predict the book borrowing behavior of the students. It then explains how incremental mining when incorporated by adding five more transactions to the original set of ten transactions changes the number of frequent item-sets and association rules generated by the algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
