Abstract: This paper elucidates the relationship between the data of transaction through defining the fuzzy transaction database with the fuzzy concept. It proposes and defines the concept of fuzzy association rules. It also investigates into the nature of fuzzy association and gives a new mining algorithm on the basis of the fuzzy association rules.

Key words: association rule, data mining, fuzzy set
