A Comparative Study of Association Rule Algorithms for Course Recommender System

A course Recommender System plays an important role in predicting the course selection by student. Here we consider the real data from Moodle course of our college & we try to obtain the result using Weka. Association rule algorithms are used to find out the best combination of courses in E-Learning. Here in this paper we consider four association rule algorithms: Apriori Association Rule, PredictiveApriori Association Rule, Tertius Association Rule & Filtered Associator. We compare the result of these four algorithms & present the result. According to our simulation result, we find that Apriori association algorithms perform better than the Predictive Apriori Association Rule, Tertius Association Rule, & Filtered Associator in predicting the course selection based on student choice
