As each of these three steps have gained an increased attention in recent years, a great variety of techniques for each step have been proposed. Though so far there has been no systematic comparison of the possible choices. In this paper, we will consider a special representative of local patterns, namely class association rules, and evaluate several options for pattern set discovery and for global modeling for this type of classification rules.
