CBA is a data mining tool developed at School of Computing, National University of Singapore. Its main algorithm was presented as a plenary paper "Integrating Classification and Association Rule Mining" in the 4th International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-98 ), August 23-27, 1998, New York City, USA. CBA originally stands for Classification Based on Associations. However, it turns out that it is more powerful than simply producing an accurate classifier for prediction. It can also be used for mining various forms of association rules, and for text categorization or classification.

In summary, CBA has the following unique features:

• Build accurate classifiers from relational data, where each record is described with a fixed number of attributes. This type of data is what traditional classification techniques use, e.g., decision tree, neural networks, and many others.

2. Mining association rules from relational data or transactional data

3. Text categorization and classification (single class, at this moment)

• Build accurate classifiers from transactional data, where each data record has a variable number of items, e.g., items bought in a supermarket by a customer, or the keywords in a text document.

CBA also has many other features, e.g., cross-validation for evaluating classifiers, and rule and tree viewers (to view and to query the discovered rules).

CBA is the central component of our DM-II suite. The full version is available based on the follows:
