Lect6 Association rule & Apriori algorithmhktripathy
The document discusses the Apriori algorithm for mining association rules from transactional data. The Apriori algorithm uses a level-wise search where frequent itemsets are used to explore longer itemsets. It determines frequent itemsets by identifying individual frequent items and extending them to larger sets as long as they meet a minimum support threshold. The algorithm takes advantage of the fact that subsets of frequent itemsets must also be frequent to prune the search space. It performs candidate generation and pruning to efficiently identify all frequent itemsets in the transactional data.

Challenges with Apriori include multiple database scans and large number of candidate sets generated.
This document discusses association rule mining. Association rule mining finds frequent patterns, associations, correlations, or causal structures among items in transaction databases. The Apriori algorithm is commonly used to find frequent itemsets and generate association rules. It works by iteratively joining frequent itemsets from the previous pass to generate candidates, and then pruning the candidates that have infrequent subsets. Various techniques can improve the efficiency of Apriori, such as hashing to count itemsets and pruning transactions that don't contain frequent itemsets. Alternative approaches like FP-growth compress the database into a tree structure to avoid costly scans and candidate generation. The document also discusses mining multilevel, multidimensional, and quantitative association rules.

It then discusses how Huffman coding encodes data by building a binary tree from character frequencies and assigning codes based on the tree's structure. An example shows how the string "Duke blue devils" is encoded. The time complexity of building the Huffman tree is O(NlogN). Real-life applications of Huffman coding include data compression in fax machines, text files and other forms of data transmission.
Apriori is the most famous frequent pattern mining method. It scans dataset repeatedly and generate item sets by bottom-top approach.
Apriori algorithm is given by R. Agrawal and R. Srikant in 1994 for finding frequent itemsets in a dataset for boolean association rule. Name of the algorithm is Apriori because it uses prior knowledge of frequent itemset properties
The document discusses major issues in data mining including mining methodology, user interaction, performance, and data types. Specifically, it outlines challenges of mining different types of knowledge, interactive mining at multiple levels of abstraction, incorporating background knowledge, visualization of results, handling noisy data, evaluating pattern interestingness, efficiency and scalability of algorithms, parallel and distributed mining, and handling relational and complex data types from heterogeneous databases.
Association rule mining finds frequent patterns and correlations among items in transaction databases. It involves two main steps:
1) Frequent itemset generation: Finds itemsets that occur together in a minimum number of transactions (above a support threshold). This is done efficiently using the Apriori algorithm.
2) Rule generation: Generates rules from frequent itemsets where the confidence (fraction of transactions with left hand side that also contain right hand side) is above a minimum threshold. Rules are a partitioning of an itemset into left and right sides.
Association analysis is a technique used to uncover relationships between items in transactional data. It involves finding frequent itemsets whose occurrence exceeds a minimum support threshold, and then generating association rules from these itemsets that satisfy minimum confidence. The Apriori algorithm is commonly used for this task, as it leverages the Apriori property to prune the search space - if an itemset is infrequent, its supersets cannot be frequent. It performs multiple database scans to iteratively grow frequent itemsets and extract high confidence rules.
The document introduces data preprocessing techniques for data mining. It discusses why data preprocessing is important due to real-world data often being dirty, incomplete, noisy, inconsistent or duplicate.

It explains that the Apriori algorithm uses an iterative approach consisting of join and prune steps to discover frequent itemsets that occur together above a minimum support threshold. The algorithm first finds all frequent 1-itemsets, then generates and prunes longer candidate itemsets in each iteration until no further frequent itemsets are found.

The document discusses the Apriori algorithm for frequent pattern mining. It begins with an introduction to frequent pattern analysis and its importance. The basic concepts of support, confidence and association rule mining are explained. The Apriori algorithm works in two steps - first it finds frequent itemsets by scanning the database and filtering out infrequent itemsets, then it generates strong association rules from the frequent itemsets using a minimum support and confidence threshold. An example is shown to illustrate how the Apriori algorithm processes a transactional database to find frequent itemsets and association rules. The limitations of Apriori include its multiple database scans which impact efficiency.
The document discusses frequent pattern mining and the Apriori algorithm. It can be summarized as follows:
1) Frequent pattern mining is used to find patterns that frequently occur together in a transaction database. The Apriori algorithm is an influential algorithm for mining frequent itemsets using an iterative, candidate generation and test approach.
2) The Apriori algorithm generates candidate itemsets of length k from frequent itemsets of length k-1, and then prunes the candidates that have a subset that is infrequent. This is repeated until no further frequent itemsets are found.
3) Once frequent itemsets are discovered, association rules can be generated from them if they satisfy minimum support and confidence thresholds.
Data Mining plays an important role in extracting patterns and other information from data. The Apriori Algorithm has been the most popular techniques infinding frequent patterns. However, Apriori Algorithm scans the database many times leading to large I/O. This paper is proposed to overcome the limitaions of Apriori Algorithm while improving the overall speed of execution for all variations in ‘minimum support’. It is aimed to reduce the number of scans required to find frequent patters.
1) The document discusses frequent itemsets, which are products that are often purchased together in stores. Association rule mining and the Apriori algorithm are used to discover these frequent itemsets and generate rules about commonly bought product combinations.
2) The Apriori algorithm employs an iterative approach to first find all frequent individual items, then combinations of two items, and so on, pruning the search space at each iteration.
3) Applications that use these techniques include e-commerce sites like Amazon to provide personalized recommendations and increase sales through related product suggestions.
IRJET-Comparative Analysis of Apriori and Apriori with Hashing AlgorithmIRJET Journal
This document compares the Apriori and Apriori with hashing algorithms for association rule mining. Association rule mining is used to find frequent itemsets and discover relationships between items in transactional databases. The Apriori algorithm uses a bottom-up approach to generate frequent itemsets by joining candidate itemsets of length k with themselves. The Apriori with hashing algorithm improves efficiency by using a hash table to reduce the candidate itemset size. The document finds that Apriori with hashing outperforms the standard Apriori algorithm on large datasets by taking less time to generate frequent itemsets.
The document discusses the Apriori algorithm for mining frequent itemsets. It defines key concepts like frequent itemsets and the Apriori property. The steps of the Apriori algorithm are described through an example where transactions of items are analyzed to find frequent itemsets. Frequent itemsets that satisfy a minimum support threshold are identified. Association rules are then generated from these frequent itemsets if they meet a minimum confidence threshold. Another example applies the full Apriori algorithm to a dataset to identify frequent itemsets and generate strong association rules.
Discovering Frequent Patterns with New Mining ProcedureIOSR Journals

Association rule mining (ARM) is a data mining technique used to discover relationships between variables in large databases. It finds frequent patterns, associations, correlations, or causal structures among sets of items or objects in transactional databases. ARM is commonly used in retail by analyzing customer purchase histories to find relationships between products customers buy together. The Apriori algorithm is commonly used for ARM. It generates candidate item sets and then scans the database to determine which item sets meet the minimum support and confidence thresholds.
In this paper a new mining algorithm is defined based on frequent item set. Apriori Algorithm scans the
database every time when it finds the frequent item set so it is very time consuming and at each step it generates candidate item set. So for large databases it takes lots of space to store candidate item set .In undirected item set graph, it is improvement on apriori but it takes time and space for tree generation. The defined algorithm scans the database at the start only once and then from that scanned data base it generates the Trade List. It contains the information of whole database. By considering minimum support
it finds the frequent item set and by considering the minimum confidence it generates the association rule.
If database and minimum support is changed, the new algorithm finds the new frequent items by scanning
Trade List. That is why it’s executing efficiency is improved distinctly compared to traditional algorithm.

Association rule learning is an unsupervised machine learning technique used to discover relationships between variables in large datasets. It is commonly used for market basket analysis to find products that are frequently bought together by customers. The Apriori algorithm is a popular association rule learning algorithm that uses metrics like support, confidence and lift to generate and evaluate rules on transactional datasets. For example, a rule generated may be "if a customer buys bread, they are likely to also buy butter" based on analyzing customer purchase histories at a supermarket.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

5. What is an Itemset?
A set of items together is called an itemset.
If any itemset has k-items it is called a k-itemset.
An itemset consists of two or more items.
An itemset that occurs frequently is called a frequent itemset.
Thus frequent itemset mining is a data mining technique to identify the items
that often occur together.
For Example : Bread and butter, Laptop and Antivirus software, etc.
6. What is a Frequent Itemset?
A set of items is called frequent if it satisfies a minimum threshold value for support and
confidence.
Support shows transactions with items purchased together in a single transaction.
Confidence shows transactions where the items are purchased one after the other.
For frequent itemset mining method, we consider only those transactions which meet minimum
threshold support and confidence requirements.
Insights from these mining algorithms offer a lot of benefits, cost-cutting and improved competitive
advantage.
There is a tradeoff time taken to mine data and the volume of data for frequent mining.
The frequent mining algorithm is an efficient algorithm to mine the hidden patterns of itemsets
within a short time and less memory consumption.
7. Frequent Pattern Mining (FPM)
The frequent pattern mining algorithm is one of the most important techniques
of data mining to discover relationships between different items in a dataset.
These relationships are represented in the form of association rules.
It helps to find the irregularities in data.
FPM has many applications in the field of data analysis, software bugs, cross-
marketing, sale campaign analysis, market basket analysis, etc.
8. Frequent itemsets discovered through Apriori have many applications in data
mining tasks.
Tasks such as finding interesting patterns in the database, finding out sequence
and Mining of association rules is the most important of them.
Association rules apply to supermarket transaction data, that is, to examine the
customer behavior in terms of the purchased products.
Association rules describe how often the items are purchased together.

9. Association Rules
Association Rule Mining is defined as:
“Let I= { …} be a set of ‘n’ binary attributes called items.
Let D= { ….} be set of transaction called database.
Each transaction in D has a unique transaction ID and contains a subset of the items in I.
A rule is defined as an implication of form X->Y where X, Y? I and X?Y=?.
The set of items X and Y are called antecedent and consequent of the rule respectively.”
Learning of Association rules is used to find relationships between attributes in large databases.
An association rule, A=> B, will be of the form” for a set of transactions, some value of itemset A
determines the values of itemset B under the condition in which minimum support and confidence
are met”.
10. Support and Confidence can be
represented by the following example:
Bread=> butter [support=2%, confidence-60%]
The above statement is an example of an association rule.
This means that there is a 2% transaction that bought bread and
butter together and there are 60% of customers who bought bread as
well as butter.
12. Association rule mining
consists of 2 steps:
1. Find all the frequent itemsets.
2. Generate association rules from the above frequent itemsets.
13. Why Frequent Itemset Mining?
Frequent itemset or pattern mining is broadly used because
of its wide applications in mining association rules,
correlations and graph patterns constraint that is based on
frequent patterns, sequential patterns, and many other data
mining tasks.
15. Apriori Algorithm –
Frequent Pattern Algorithms
Apriori algorithm was the first algorithm that was proposed for
frequent itemset mining.
It was later improved by R Agarwal and R Srikant and came to be
known as Apriori.
This algorithm uses two steps “join” and “prune” to reduce the
search space.
It is an iterative approach to discover the most frequent itemsets.
16. Apriori says:
The probability that item I is not frequent is if:
P(I) < minimum support threshold, then I is not frequent.
P (I+A) < minimum support threshold, then I+A is not frequent, where A
also belongs to itemset.
If an itemset set has value less than minimum support then all of its
supersets will also fall below min support, and thus can be ignored.
This property is called the Antimonotone property.
17. The steps followed in the
Apriori Algorithm
1) Join Step :
• This step generates (K+1) itemset from K-itemsets by joining each item with
itself.
2) Prune Step :
• This step scans the count of each item in the database.
• If the candidate item does not meet minimum support, then it is regarded as
infrequent and thus it is removed.
• This step is performed to reduce the size of the candidate itemsets.
18. Steps In Apriori
• Apriori algorithm is a sequence of steps to be followed to find the
most frequent itemset in the given database.
• This data mining technique follows the join and the prune steps
iteratively until the most frequent itemset is achieved.
• A minimum support threshold is given in the problem or it is assumed
by the user.
19. Steps In Apriori
• #1) In the first iteration of the algorithm, each item is taken as a 1-itemsets candidate.
The algorithm will count the occurrences of each item.
• #2) Let there be some minimum support, min_sup ( eg 2). The set of 1 – itemsets
whose occurrence is satisfying the min sup are determined. Only those candidates
which count more than or equal to min_sup, are taken ahead for the next iteration and
the others are pruned.
• #3) Next, 2-itemset frequent items with min_sup are discovered. For this in the join
step, the 2-itemset is generated by forming a group of 2 by combining items with
itself.
20. Steps In Apriori
• #4) The 2-itemset candidates are pruned using min-sup threshold value. Now the
table will have 2 –itemsets with min-sup only.
• #5) The next iteration will form 3 –itemsets using join and prune step. This iteration
will follow antimonotone property where the subsets of 3-itemsets, that is the 2 –
itemset subsets of each group fall in min_sup. If all 2-itemset subsets are frequent
then the superset will be frequent otherwise it is pruned.
• #6) Next step will follow making 4-itemset by joining 3-itemset with itself and
pruning if its subset does not meet the min_sup criteria. The algorithm is stopped
when the most frequent itemset is achieved.
23. Example of Apriori:
Support threshold=50%, Confidence= 60%
TABLE-1
Transaction List of items
T1 I1,I2,I3
T2 I2,I3,I4
T3 I4,I5
T4 I1,I2,I4
T5 I1,I2,I3,I5
T6 I1,I2,I3,I4
Solution:
Support threshold=50% => 0.5*6= 3
=> min_sup=3
24. 1. Count of Each Item
TABLE-2
Item Count
I1 4
I2 5
I3 4
I4 4
I5 2
25. 2. Prune Step:
• TABLE -2 shows that I5 item does not meet min_sup=3, thus it is deleted, only I1, I2, I3, I4
meet min_sup count.
TABLE-3
Item Count
I1 4
I2 5
I3 4
I4 4
26. 3. Join Step:
• Form 2-itemset. From TABLE-1 find out the occurrences of 2-itemset.
TABLE-4
Item Count
I1,I2 4
I1,I3 3
I1,I4 2
I2,I3 4
I2,I4 3
I3,I4 2
27. 4. Prune Step:
• TABLE -4 shows that item set {I1, I4} and {I3, I4} does not meet min_sup, thus it is
deleted.
TABLE-5
Item Count
I1,I2 4
I1,I3 3
I2,I3 4
I2,I4 3
28. 5. Join and Prune Step:
• Form 3-itemset. From the TABLE- 1 find out occurrences of 3-itemset. From TABLE-5, find out the 2-itemset
subsets which support min_sup.
• We can see for itemset {I1, I2, I3} subsets, {I1, I2}, {I1, I3}, {I2, I3} are occurring in TABLE-5 thus {I1, I2,
I3} is frequent.
• We can see for itemset {I1, I2, I4} subsets, {I1, I2}, {I1, I4}, {I2, I4}, {I1, I4} is not frequent, as it is not
occurring in TABLE-5 thus {I1, I2, I4} is not frequent, hence it is deleted.
TABLE-6
Only {I1, I2, I3} is frequent.
Item
I1,I2,I3
I1,I2,I4
I1,I3,I4
I2,I3,I4
29. 6. Generate Association Rules:
• From the frequent itemset discovered above the association could be :
{I1, I2} => {I3} Confidence = support {I1, I2, I3} / support {I1, I2} = (3/ 4)* 100 = 75%
{I1, I3} => {I2} Confidence = support {I1, I2, I3} / support {I1, I3} = (3/ 3)* 100 = 100%
{I2, I3} => {I1} Confidence = support {I1, I2, I3} / support {I2, I3} = (3/ 4)* 100 = 75%
{I1} => {I2, I3} Confidence = support {I1, I2, I3} / support {I1} = (3/ 4)* 100 = 75%
{I2} => {I1, I3} Confidence = support {I1, I2, I3} / support {I2 = (3/ 5)* 100 = 60%
{I3} => {I1, I2} Confidence = support {I1, I2, I3} / support {I3} = (3/ 4)* 100 = 75%
• This shows that all the above association rules are strong if minimum confidence threshold is
60%.
30. Advantages &
Disadvantages
• Advantages
• Easy to understand algorithm
• Join and Prune steps are easy to implement on large itemsets in large databases
• Disadvantages
• It requires high computation if the itemsets are very large and the minimum support is
kept very low.
• The entire database needs to be scanned.
31. Methods To Improve
Apriori Efficiency
• Many methods are available for improving the efficiency of the algorithm.
• Hash-Based Technique:
– This method uses a hash-based structure called a hash table for generating the k-itemsets
and its corresponding count.
– It uses a hash function for generating the table.
• Transaction Reduction:
– This method reduces the number of transactions scanning in iterations.
– The transactions which do not contain frequent items are marked or removed.
32. Methods To Improve
Apriori Efficiency
• Partitioning:
– This method requires only two database scans to mine the frequent itemsets.
– It says that for any itemset to be potentially frequent in the database, it should be frequent in at least one of the
partitions of the database.
• Sampling:
– This method picks a random sample S from Database D and then searches for frequent itemset in S.
– It may be possible to lose a global frequent itemset.
– This can be reduced by lowering the min_sup.
• Dynamic Itemset Counting:
– This technique can add new candidate itemsets at any marked start point of the database during the scanning of
the database.
33. Applications of Apriori Algorithm
• Some fields where Apriori is used:
• In Education Field: Extracting association rules in data mining of admitted students
through characteristics and specialties.
• In the Medical field: For example Analysis of the patient’s database.
• In Forestry: Analysis of probability and intensity of forest fire with the forest fire data.
• Apriori is used by many companies like Amazon in the Recommender System and by
Google for the auto-complete feature.
34. Conclusion :
• Apriori algorithm is an efficient algorithm that scans the database
only once.
• It reduces the size of the itemsets in the database considerably
providing a good performance.
• Thus, data mining helps consumers and industries better in the
decision-making process.
