Introduction To ARMADA
--------------------------------------------------------------

ARMADA is a Data Mining tool that extracts Association Rules from numerical data files using a variety of selectable techniques and criteria.  The program integrates several mining methods which allow the efficient extraction of rules, while allowing the thoroughness of the mine to be specified at the users discretion.

The name ARMADA stands for Association Rule Miner And Deduction Analysis.  The program was designed as a tool to assist in the analysis of both the knowledge extracted and the deduction processes by which such a task is undertaken.  However, the program can also be used as a straightforward Data Mining tool for the efficient extraction of Association Rules.

The actual knowledge extracted is presented in the form of easy-to-understand rules, while the details of the process, such as time taken and file size considered, are conveniently summarised in the 'Mining Report' section.  These mining results can also be saved and opened for analysis in a 'dmr' (data mining results) file.

The program also allows the results to be displayed through various graphical representations, such as bar charts and line graphs.  Such graphics can often help to summarise the knowledge being analysed by providing a concise conceptualisation of the data under scrutiny.  A facility to print such graphics is also included.

Although the type of numerical data which ARMADA could be used to mine are virtually endless, common examples of data sets include;
