Abstract

In a wide-spread definition, data mining is termed to be the “non-trivial process of identifying valid, novel, potentially useful, and ultimately understandable patterns in data”. In real applications, however, usually only the validity of data mining results is assessed numerically. An important reason is that the other properties are highly subjective, i.e., they depend on the specific knowledge and requirements of the user. In this article we define some objective interestingness measures for a specific kind of classifier, a probabilistic classifier based on a mixture model. These measures assess the informativeness, uniqueness, importance, discrimination, comprehensibility, and representativity of rules contained in this classifier to support a user in evaluating data mining results. With some simulation experiments we demonstrate how these measures can be applied.
