QuantMiner v 1.0




Thanks for using QuantMiner!

QuantMiner is a Data Mining tool for mining Quantitative Association Rules that is taking into consideration numerical attributes in mining association rules. It exploits a recent and innovative research in mining quantitative association rules published in IJCAI 2007.

If you publish material based on QuantMiner, then, please note the use of QuantMiner and its url. This will help others to obtain the system and replicate your experiments. We suggest the following reference format for referring to this software:
