Abstract: Now a day’s companies have large amount of data its exploration becomes complicated, especially if we emphasize the temporal aspect while considering association rules. Therefore, we are introducing the temporal association rules mining. In this paper, we focus on cyclic association rules, classified as a category of the temporal association rules. An association rule is cyclic if the rule has the minimum confidence and support at regular time intervals. Such a rule need not hold for the entire transactional Database, but only for a particular Periodic time interval. The cyclic association rules used to discover relations among items characterized by regular cyclic variation overt time. For finding cyclic association rules we are going through various different approaches and their comparative analysis. This Techniques will enable marketers to better Identify trends in sales and allow for better forecasting of Future demand. comparative study of different approaches are also provided.
