Abstract

Abstract: Today, a huge percentage of all the business transactions that take place in the domain of e-commerce are dominated by online shopping after the virtual market conceptualization of the business. This paper focuses on how pattern association rules may be obtained from the dynamic databases generated during purchases in an e-Store to maximize the profit of the marketer. In this paper, ANN has been used as a tool for generating pattern association rules during online purchases of products to aid the cross-selling of products. For getting the rules, a methodology using artificial neural networks has been adapted for usage using an extended Delta rule for initial training of the network and a hetero-associative neural network for generating and storing the associative rules. Also, a methodology has been proposed to filter out all rules which do not add economic value to the firm and then select that rule which will meet the profit maximization objective of the marketer.
