Popis: STRIM (Statistical Test Rule Induction Method) has been proposed as an if-then rule induction method from the decision table (DT) and has improved those methods by the conventional Rough Sets from a statistical view. The method recognizes condition attributes (CA) and the decision attribute (DA) in DT as random variables having the causality of an input-output relation, and uses the relation of transforming the inputs (outcomes of CA) into the outputs (those DA) through the rules for rule induction strategies. This paper reconsiders the conventional STRIM, proposes a new rule induction method and strategy named apriori-STRIM and confirms the validity and capacity by a simulation experiment. Specifically, the new method explores CA of causes after receiving outcomes of DA by use of co-occurrence sets of outcomes of CA. The co-occurrence set is a well-known concept in the association rule learning (ARL) field. This paper also clarifies the differences of rule induction methods and their capacities between apriori-STRIM and ARL by the same experiments.
