If
w
is set as a high value, e.g., 0.9, each of the resulted clusters has a tight bound on the
expected supports of the contained FU2Ps, but the FU2Ps in a cluster have significantly
different appearances. The clusters derived by setting
w
,
ξ
, and
δ
as 0.9, 0.25, and 1.1,
respectively, are shown in Table 8(b).
Both settings presented in Table 8 provide informative summaries; however, the two
summaries have different properties. On one hand, using a low value for
w
often results in
more attributes appearing in a cluster because the appearances of the FU2Ps in the cluster
present more variations. On the other hand, using a high value for
w
gives a more
informative estimation for the expected support of a FU2P. The users may be interested in
the estimation for the expected support of a FU2P.
