Abstract:This paper aims to present an approach for mining regular association rules and maximal association rules using soft set and inclusion degree theory from transactional datasets.We first give the notions of inclusion degree,association rule and maximum association rules between attribute sets of soft set.Then we discuss the relationship between inclusion degree and confidence.Furthermore,we give an algorithm of soft maximal association rules mining using inclusion degree of soft set.The experiments show the algorithm improves greatly the performance of maximal association rules mining.
