ARtool Project

Overview:

ARtool represents a collection of algorithms and tools for the mining of association rules in binary databases. ARtool is a new project based on some of the sources that I wrote for ARMiner and on a new algorithm that I designed for my research in the domain of association rule mining. The user interface has been designed and implemented from scratch. ARtool is distributed under the GNU General Public License.

The last version of ARtool is 1.1.2 (02/04/2002).

Last 5 news and updates:

10/03/2006 - Due to space constraints, I removed the online resources. You need to download the compressed files, to browse the source and documentation for ARtool.
02/04/2002 - Released version 1.1.2, made some optimizations and code improvements in the laur packages
01/29/2002 - Added measures.zip to databases page
01/17/2002 - Released version 1.1.1, added a few features
01/12/2002 - Released version 1.0.0
