This study aims to apply the Apriori association rule algorithm on 14
continuous egg quality traits recorded from 4320 eggs of three
commercial white-laying chicken lines. In the study all the continuous
data were discretized using Equal-Width-Interval method based the number
of intervals obtained with Rice formula. Association rules analysis on
the discretized dataset resulted with a total of 349 rules consists of 3
and 4 items. According to the top five rules by support and confidence,
some important associations were obtained between the certain value
ranges of the traits egg weight, egg width, egg length, shell thickness,
and shell breaking strength when compared to the others. The
appropriate biological and economic interpretations of the obtained
rules may contribute to the poultry industry in practice.
