New open source modules in KEEL to analyze and export fuzzy association rules

The KEEL software provides several methods to mine fuzzy association rules, however, few modules are available to study them. In this paper we introduce four new KEEL modules to analyze and export fuzzy association rules. Firstly, we present a module to calculate various interest measures for existing sets of fuzzy association rules in order to analyze rules on the basis of their potential interest to the user. Then, two visualization modules are proposed to generate different kinds of graphs from interest measures, making easier the analysis of the rules. Finally, we present a module to export obtained rules to the standard PMML in order to be able to take advantages of other software. The utility of these new modules is illustrated in a case study.
