Confidence Value (Association Rules). When applying (in data or text mining) algorithms for deriving association rules of the general form If Body then Head (e.g.
They output a confidence value associated with their choice. (Note that some other algorithms may also output confidence values, but in general, only for probabilistic algorithms is this value mathematically grounded in probability theory.
