Statistically Significant Dependencies for Spatial Co-location Pattern Mining and Classification Association Rule Discovery
DownloadFall 2014
Spatial co-location pattern mining and classification association rule discovery are two canonical tasks studied in the data mining community. Both of them focus on the detection of sets of features that show associations. The difference is that in spatial co-location pattern mining, the features...
