Alarm Correlation Rules Generation Algorithm Based on Confidence Covered Value

In communication alarm correlation analysis,traditional association rules generation(ARG) algorithm usually has low efficiency and high error rate.This paper proposes an alarm correlation rules generation algorithm based on the confidence covered value.Confidence covered value method can judge whether a rule is redundant or not scientific After the rules that based on weighted frequent patterns(WFPs) generated,the association rules were deleted by the confidence covered value,in order to delete the redundant rules and keep the rules with more information.Experiments show that the alarm correlation rules generation algorithm based on the confidence covered value has higher efficiency than the traditional method,and can effectively remove redundant rules.Thus it is very suitable for telecommunication alarm association rules processing.
