DOCTORAL RESEARCH SUMMARY
Title: “Exploring multidimensional cubes using sk-association rules augmented by an axis shift theory”
I am working on the research issues specific to the knowledge discovery process while navigating
through large multidimensional cubes. Using the statistical techniques and parent-child relationships, we
discover skewness based association rules which are then used to enhance the navigation capabilities. An
axis shift theory measures the interestingness of sk-association rules. The research work has already been
published in leading Journal and Conferences. The research papers are available on request.
