Binary Particle Swarm Optimization-Based Association Rule Mining for Discovering Relationships between Machine Capabilities and Product Features

Table 14

Comparison between BPSO-ARM and nonstatistical methods.

Algorithm	Advantage	Disadvantage	Software
Cladistic	Strong association rules	Complex modeling procedure	TNT cladistic analysis®
Integer programing	Less implementation and development effort	Manually adding constraints for different problems	Lindo®
BPSO-ARM	Automated data exploration and rule pruning	Missing some rules	MATLAB®
