Tsrulegrowth: Mining Partially-Ordered Prediction Rules From A Time Series Of Discrete Elements, Application To A Context Of Ambient Intelligence

This paper presents TSRuleGrowth, an algorithm for mining partially-ordered rules on a time series. TSRuleGrowth takes principles from the state of the art of transactional rule mining, and applies them to time series. It proposes a new definition of the support, which overcomes the limitations of previous definitions. Experiments on two databases of real data coming from connected environments show that this algorithm extracts relevant usual situations and outperforms the state of the art.
