35. Discovery of sequential patterns Suppose a customer visit the shop three times and purchase the following sequence of item sets. { milk, bread, juice } { bread, eggs } { cookies, milk, coffee } The problem of discovering sequential patterns is to find all subsequences from the given sets of sequences that have a user defined minimum support. Trans_id Time Item_Purchased 101 6.35 Milk, bread, juice 792 7.38 Milk, juice 1130 8.05 Milk, eggs 1735 8.40 Bread, cookies ,coffee
