Market basket analysis is a technique used by retailers to analyze purchasing patterns and find associations between items that are frequently purchased together. The Apriori algorithm is commonly used to perform market basket analysis by scanning transactions to identify frequent item sets that satisfy a minimum support count. Applications of market basket analysis include cross-selling, product placement, affinity promotion, and fraud detection by discovering relationships between items in customer transactions.
The document discusses association rule mining and the Apriori and FP-Growth algorithms. It provides the following information:
- Association rule mining discovers interesting relationships between variables in large databases. It expresses relationships between frequently co-occurring items as association rules.
- The Apriori algorithm uses frequent itemsets to generate association rules. It employs an iterative approach and pruning to reduce candidate sets.
- FP-Growth improves upon Apriori by compressing transaction data into a frequent-pattern tree structure and scanning the database twice instead of multiple times. This improves mining efficiency over Apriori.
The document provides an introduction to the concept of data mining, defining it as the extraction of useful patterns from large data sources through automatic or semi-automatic means.

Introduction
Big Data may well be the Next Big Thing in the IT world.
Big data burst upon the scene in the first decade of the 21st century.
The first organizations to embrace it were online and startup firms. Firms like Google, eBay, LinkedIn, and Face book were built around big data from the beginning.
Like many new information technologies, big data can bring about dramatic cost reductions, substantial improvements in the time required to perform a computing task, or new product and service offerings.
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.
Text mining is the process of extracting useful information and patterns from large collections of unstructured documents. It involves preprocessing texts, applying techniques like categorization, clustering, and summarization, and presenting or visualizing the results. While text mining has many applications in business, science, and other domains, it also faces challenges related to linguistics, analytics, and integrating domain knowledge. The document outlines the definition, techniques, applications, advantages, and limitations of text mining.
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.

Association rule mining and Apriori algorithmhina firdaus
The document discusses association rule mining and the Apriori algorithm. It provides an overview of association rule mining, which aims to discover relationships between variables in large datasets. The Apriori algorithm is then explained as a popular algorithm for association rule mining that uses a bottom-up approach to generate frequent itemsets and association rules, starting from individual items and building up patterns by combining items. The key steps of Apriori involve generating candidate itemsets, counting their support from the dataset, and pruning unpromising candidates to create the frequent itemsets.
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.
The document discusses various data mining tasks relevant to customer relationship management (CRM). It describes classification, regression, link analysis, and deviation detection. Classification involves mapping data into predefined classes and is used for credit approvals, fraud detection, and targeting offers. Regression establishes relationships between variables to predict outcomes like sales or churn. Link analysis identifies connections between data items to reveal patterns in areas like referrals, purchases, and websites. Deviation detection finds significant changes from normal values to identify anomalies.
Association rule learning is an unsupervised machine learning technique used to discover relationships between variables in a large dataset. It finds frequent patterns and correlations between data to map how the presence or absence of one item influences another. Market basket analysis is a specific type of association rule learning applied in retail to analyze customer purchasing patterns and reveal which products are commonly bought together. This helps retailers optimize product placement, promotions, and recommendations to increase sales.
This document discusses market basket analysis using association rule mining in R. Market basket analysis examines if certain products are frequently purchased together. The document introduces association rule mining and market basket analysis. It then covers implementing market basket analysis in R, including loading packages and datasets, mining rules to find associated products, sorting and filtering rules, and visualizing results. Potential applications of association rule mining to other domains are also mentioned.
Frequent pattern mining is an analytical algorithm that is used by businesses and, is accessible in some self-serve business intelligence solutions. The FP Growth analytical technique finds frequent patterns, associations, or causal structures from data sets in various kinds of databases such as relational databases, transactional databases, and other forms of data repositories.
This document provides an overview of unsupervised learning techniques including k-means clustering and association rule mining. It begins with introductions to the speaker and tutorial topics. It then contrasts supervised vs unsupervised learning, describing how k-means is used for clustering without labels and how association rules can discover relationships between items. The document provides examples of applying these techniques in domains like retail, sports, email marketing and healthcare. It also includes visualizations and discusses important concepts for k-means like data transformation and for association rules like support, confidence and lift. Homework questions are asked about preparing data for these algorithms in Orange.

The rules can benefit customers and organizations by suggesting additional products customers may want to purchase.
Data mining involves discovering patterns and correlations within large datasets. It is commonly used by retail, financial, marketing and communications companies to better understand relationships between internal/external factors and sales, customer satisfaction, and profits. The key steps of data mining include data integration, selection, cleaning, transformation, mining patterns, evaluating patterns, and applying discovered knowledge. Data mining techniques include association, clustering, prediction, sequential patterns, decision trees, and classification.
Objective - to analyse data to Identify items based on the transaction history of customers.
Identify patterns of relationship between data of customers using association rules.
This document discusses association rule mining and the Apriori algorithm. Association rule mining seeks to find frequent connections between attributes in transactional data. The Apriori algorithm is commonly used to generate association rules and reduces computation by only considering frequent itemsets that meet a minimum support threshold. Rules are selected based on having sufficient confidence levels. Association rule mining can produce many rules, so care must be taken to identify truly useful patterns and reduce redundancy.

The document discusses sales prediction for Big Mart stores. It outlines exploring store and product level hypotheses from sales data, data exploration including feature summaries and missing value imputation, feature engineering such as combining variables and imputing outliers, building linear regression models to predict future sales, and exporting cleaned data and models. The goal is to help Big Mart predict sales volumes to aid planning, inventory management, and remaining competitive.
The document discusses association rule learning, which analyzes data to find patterns and relationships between attributes or items. Association rules have two parts - an antecedent (if) and consequent (then) that occur frequently together. For example, people who buy bread often also buy milk. The Apriori algorithm is commonly used to generate association rules and considers support, confidence and lift to determine strong rules. Support measures how often an itemset occurs, confidence measures the likelihood of the consequent given the antecedent, and lift measures their independence while accounting for item popularity.
This document discusses how customer data is collected and used by various companies. Records are created at each step of a customer's transaction including phone calls, orders, credit card authorization, and shipping. Companies use these detailed records to learn about customer behaviors over time to target promotions, predict future purchases, and improve customer relationships. Data mining techniques are applied to large data warehouses to discover patterns in customer data and gain business insights.
Support measures how frequently item sets appear together in transactions. Confidence indicates how often if-then statements are found to be true. Association rules are useful for analyzing customer behavior patterns and predicting customer purchases. Lift compares the observed response rate for a target group identified by a rule to the average response rate, and is a measure of how effective a rule is at targeting customers. A higher lift indicates the rule is better at identifying customers with an enhanced response.
This document provides an overview of analytics. It defines analytics as using data, technology, analysis and models to help managers make better decisions. It discusses different types of analytics including descriptive, predictive and prescriptive. Descriptive analytics examines past performance, predictive analytics predicts the future by detecting patterns in data, and prescriptive analytics identifies the best alternatives. The document also briefly covers tools, data, models, and using analytics to solve business problems.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

3. Introduction
Market basket analysis is an unsupervised learning technique that can be useful
for analyzing transactional data. It can be a powerful technique in analyzing the
purchasing patterns of consumers. In this tutorial, we will examine the concept
behind market basket analysis, introduce the apriori algorithm, as well conduct
our own market basket analysis using R.
First, it’s important to define the Apriori algorithm, including some statistical
concepts (support, confidence, lift and conviction) to select interesting rules.
Then we are going to use a data set containing more than 6.000 transactions from
a bakery to apply the algorithm and find combinations of products that are
bought together
Association rules
The Apriori algorithm generates association rules for a given data set. An
association rule implies that if an item A occurs, then item B also occurs with a
certain probability. for example,
Transaction Items
t1 {T-shirt, Trousers, Belt}
t2 {T-shirt, Jacket}
t3 {Jacket, Gloves}
t4 {T-shirt, Trousers, Jacket}
t5 {T-shirt, Trousers, Sneakers, Jacket, Belt}
t6 {Trousers, Sneakers, Belt}
t7 {Trousers, Belt, Sneakers}
In the table above, we can see seven transactions from a clothing store. Each
transaction shows items bought in that transaction. We can represent our items as
an item set as follows:
𝐼 = {𝑖1, 𝑖2, . . . , 𝑖 𝑘}
In our case it corresponds to:
$$I={Ttext- shirt, Trousers, Belt, Jacket, Gloves, Sneakers}$$
A transaction is represented by the following expression:
𝑇 = {𝑡1, 𝑡2, . . . , 𝑡 𝑛}
4. For example,
$$t_1={Ttext- shirt, Trousers, Belt}$$
Then, an association rule is defined as an implication of the form:
𝑋 ⇒ 𝑌, where 𝑋 ⊂ 𝐼, 𝑌 ⊂ 𝐼 and 𝑋 ∩ 𝑌 = 0
For example,
$${Ttext- shirt, Trousers} Rightarrow {Belt}$$
In the following sections we are going to define four metrics to measure the
precision of a rule.
➢Support
Support is an indication of how frequently the item set appears in the data set.
𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝(𝑋 ⇒ 𝑌) =
|𝑋 ∪ 𝑌|
𝑛
In other words, it’s the number of transactions with both 𝑋 and 𝑌 divided by the
total number of transactions. The rules are not useful for low support values.
Let’s see different examples using the clothing store transactions from the
previous table.
• $supp(Ttext- shirt Rightarrow Trousers)=dfrac{3}{7}=43 %$
• 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝(𝑇𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑠 ⇒ 𝐵𝑒𝑙𝑡) =
4
7
= 57%
• $supp(Ttext- shirt Rightarrow Belt)=dfrac{2}{7}=28 %$
• $supp({Ttext- shirt, Trousers} Rightarrow {Belt})=dfrac{2}{7}=28 %$
➢Confidence
For a rule 𝑋 ⇒ 𝑌, confidence shows the percentage in which 𝑌 is bought with 𝑋.
It’s an indication of how often the rule has been found to be true.
𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑓(𝑋 ⇒ 𝑌) =
𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝(𝑋 ∪ 𝑌)
𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝(𝑋)
For example, the rule $Ttext- shirt Rightarrow Trousers$ has a confidence of
3/4, which means that for 75% of the transactions containing a t-shirt the rule is
correct (75% of the times a customer buys a t-shirt, trousers are bought as well).
Three more examples:
5. • 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑓(𝑇𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑠 ⇒ 𝐵𝑒𝑙𝑡) =
4/7
5/7
= 80%
• $conf(Ttext- shirt Rightarrow Belt)=dfrac{2/7}{4/7}=50 %$
• $conf({Ttext- shirt, Trousers} Rightarrow {Belt})=dfrac{2/7}{3/7}=66
%$
➢Lift
The lift of a rule is the ratio of the observed support to that expected if 𝑋 and 𝑌
were independent, and is defined as
𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑡(𝑋 ⇒ 𝑌) =
𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝(𝑋 ∪ 𝑌)
𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝(𝑋)𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝(𝑌)
Greater lift values indicate stronger associations. Let’s see some examples:
• $lift(Ttext- shirt Rightarrow Trousers)=dfrac{3/7}{(4/7)(5/7)}= 1.05$
• 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑡(𝑇𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑠 ⇒ 𝐵𝑒𝑙𝑡) =
4/7
(5/7)(4/7)
= 1.4
• $lift(Ttext- shirt Rightarrow Belt)=dfrac{2/7}{(4/7)(4/7)}=0.875$
• $lift({Ttext- shirt, Trousers} Rightarrow
{Belt})=dfrac{2/7}{(3/7)(4/7)}=1.17$
➢Conviction
The conviction of a rule is defined as
𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣(𝑋 ⇒ 𝑌) =
1 − 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝(𝑌)
1 − 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑓(𝑋 ⇒ 𝑌)
It can be interpreted as the ratio of the expected frequency that 𝑋 occurs without
𝑌 if 𝑋 and 𝑌 were independent divided by the observed frequency of incorrect
predictions. A high value means that the consequent depends strongly on the
antecedent. we can understand more by these examples:
• $conv(Ttext- shirt Rightarrow Trousers)= dfrac{1-5/7}{1-3/4}=1.14$
• 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣(𝑇𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑠 ⇒ 𝐵𝑒𝑙𝑡) =
1−4/7
1−4/5
= 2.14
• $conv(Ttext- shirt Rightarrow Belt)=dfrac{1-4/7}{1-1/2}=0.86$
• $conv({Ttext- shirt, Trousers} Rightarrow {Belt})=dfrac{1-4/7}{1-
2/3}=1.28$
6. Benefits Of Market Basket Analysis
The followings are main benefits of Market Basket Analysis :-
• Store Layout
we can organize or set up store according to market basket analysis in order
to increase revenue. Once we know the products in the market basket, we can
arrange or place the products near each other so that the customer notice and
take a decision to buy them. Market business analysis acts as a guide to
organize store to get the best revenues.
• Marketing Messages
Market basket analysis increase the efficiency of marketing messages
whether it is done by phone, email, social media etc.we can suggest the next
best option to the customers by using market business analysis data. With the
help of market business analysis data, we can give relevant suggestions to our
customer instead of telling them about irritating marketing offers.
• Maintain Inventory
With the help of market basket analysis, we may know what are the products
that our customers are going to buy in future and we can maintain our
inventory accordingly. we can also predict the future purchase of customers
over a period of time on the basis of market basket analysis data. we can also
use initial sales data to maintain our inventory. we can also predict the
shortage of useful items or more demanded items in our store and then
arrange our stock or inventory accordingly.
• Content Placement
Content placement is very important when we are doing an e-commerce
business. our conversion rates will increase when our products are displayed
or arranged in a right order. Marketing basket analysis is used by the online
retailers to display the content that is likely to read next by the customers. It
will help to engage customers on our website. Market basket analysis helps to
increase traffic on our website and to get better conversion rates.
• Recommendation Engines
Market basket analysis is the base for creating recommendation engines. A
recommendation engine is a software that analyzes identifies and
recommends content to users in which they are interested. A recommendation
engine is an important part of application and software product. It collects
information about people’s habits and then recommends contents to them.
7. Applicaion Of Market Basket Analysis
Market basket analysis is applied to various fields of the retail sector in order to
boost sales and generate revenue by identifying the needs of the customers and
make purchase suggestions to them.
• Cross Selling
Cross-selling is basically a sales technique in which seller suggests some related
product to a customer after he buys a product. A seller influences the customer
to spend more by purchasing more products related to the product that has
already been purchased by him. For instance, if someone buys milk from a
store, the seller asks or suggests him to buy coffee or tea as well. So basically
the seller suggests the complementary product to the customer with the product
that he has already purchased. Market basket analysis helps the retailer to know
the consumer behavior and then go for cross-selling.
• Product Placement
It refers to placing the complimentary (pen and paper)and substitute goods (tea
and coffee) together so that the customer addresses the goods and will buy both
the goods together. If a seller places these kinds of goods together there is a
probability that a customer will purchase them together. Market basket analysis
helps the retailer to identify the goods that a customer can purchase together.
• Affinity Promotion
Affinity promotion is a method of promotion that design promotional events
based on associated products. Market basket analysis affinity promotion is a
useful way to prepare and analyze questionnaire data.
• Fraud Detection
Market basket analysis is also applied to fraud detection. It may be possible to
identify purchase behavior that can associate with fraud on the basis of market
basket analysis data that contain credit card usage. Hence market basket
analysis is also useful in fraud detection.
• Customer Behavior
Market basket analysis helps to understand customer behavior. It understands
the customer behavior under different conditions. It provides an insight into
customer behavior. It allows the retailer to identify the relationship between two
products that people tend to buy and hence helps to understand the customer
behavior towards a product or service.
Hence, market basket analysis helps the retailer to get an insight into customer
behavior and to understand the relationship between two or more goods so that they
can offer or do purchase suggestions to their customers so that they will buy more
from their stores and they can earn great revenue.
8. Loading Data
First we need to load some libraries and import our data. We can use the function
read.transactions() from the arules package to create a transactions object.
with the help of Descriptive Analysis , we understands the basic attributes ,
features and variables in our data set. Basic under standing of data set

9. ➢ Structure
# Structure

Variable Details
The data set contains 15.010 observations and the following columns,
• Date. Categorical variable that tells us the date of the transactions (YYYY-
MM-DD format). The column includes dates from 30/10/2016 to 09/04/2017.
• Time. Categorical variable that tells us the time of the transactions
(HH:MM:SS format).
• Transaction. Quantitative variable that allows us to differentiate the
transactions. The rows that share the same value in this field belong to the
same transaction, that’s why the data set has less transactions than
observations.
• Item. Categorical variable with the products.
Data Analysis
Before applying the Apriori algorithm on the data set, we use some basic
plots.This Visualization can help to learn more about the transactions. For
example, we can generate an itemFrequencyPlot() to create an item Frequency Bar
Plot to view the distribution of products.
10. The itemFrequencyPlot() is a method to create item frequency bar plot for
inspecting the item frequency distribution for objects on Item matrix it allows us
to show the absolute or relative values. If absolute it will plot numeric
frequencies of each item independently. If relative it will plot how many times
these items have appeared as compared to others, we can understand by these
plots.
11. by visualize the plots we can say that, Coffee is the best-selling product by far,
followed by bread and tea. For more understanding the beahviors and patterns in
tranactions,we use some visualizations describing the time distribution using the
ggplot() function.
• Transactions per month
• Transactions per weekday
• Transactions per hour
The data set includes dates from 30/10/2016 to 09/04/2017, that’s why we have
so few transactions in October and April.
12. As we can see, Saturday is the busiest day in the bakery. Conversely, Wednesday
is the day with fewer transactions.
There’s not much to discuss with this visualization. The results are logical and
expected.
13. Apriori algorithm
➢Choice of support and confidence
The first step in order to create a set of association rules is to determine the
optimal thresholds for support and confidence. If we set these values too low,
then the algorithm will take longer to execute and we will get a lot of rules (most
of them will not be useful). Then, what values do we choose? We can try
different values of support and confidence and see graphically how many rules
are generated for each combination.
In the following plots we can see the number of rules generated with a support
level of 10%, 5%, 1% and 0.5%.
14. We can join the four lines to improve the visualization.
Analysis of Results
• Support level of 10%. We only identify a few rules with very low
confidence levels. This means that there are no relatively frequent
associations in our data set. We can’t choose this value, the resulting rules are
unrepresentative.
• Support level of 5%. We only identify a rule with a confidence of at least
50%. It seems that we have to look for support levels below 5% to obtain a
greater number of rules with a reasonable confidence.
• Support level of 1%. We started to get dozens of rules, of which 13 have a
confidence of at least 50%.
• Support level of 0.5%. Too many rules to analyze!
As per above analysis we will use a support level of 1% and a confidence level of
50% for further Analysis.
15. ➢Execution
we can execute the Apriori algorithm with the values obtained in the
previous section. with help of apriori() function.
For generated association rules. we can use inspect() function for
Describe and view this rules.
# Association rules

## [13] {Cake} => {Coffee} 0.05654672 0.5389049 1.118042 374
We can also create an HTML table widget using the inspectDT() function
from the aruslesViz package. Rules can be interactively filtered and
sorted.
interpreation of these rules.
• 52% of the customers who bought a hot chocolate algo bought a
coffee.
• 63% of the customers who bought a spanish brunch also bought a
coffee.
• 73% of the customers who bought a toast also bought a coffee.
And so on. It seems that in this bakery there are many coffee lovers.
16. ➢Visualize association rules
We will use the arulesViz package to create the visualizations. first we create a
simple scatter plot with different measures of interestingness on the axes (lift and
support) and a third measure (confidence) represented by the color of the points.
The following visualization represents the rules as a graph with items as labeled
vertices, and rules represented as vertices connected to items using arrows.
18. We can represent the rules as a grouped matrix-based visualization. The support
and lift measures are represented by the size and color of the ballons,
respectively. In this case it’s not a very useful visualization, since we only have
coffe on the right-hand-side of the rules.
➢Another execution
We have executed the Apriori algorithm with the appropriate support and
confidence values. What happens if we execute it with low values? How do the
visualizations change? Let’s try with a support level of 0.5% and a confidence
level of 10%.
It’s impossible to analyze these visualizations! For larger rule sets visual analysis
becomes difficult. Furthermore, most of the rules are useless. That’s why we
have to carefully select the right values of support and confidence.
21. Conclusion
Market basket analysis is an unsupervised machine learning technique that can be
useful for finding patterns in transactional data. It can be a very powerful tool for
analyzing the purchasing patterns of consumers. The main algorithm used in
market basket analysis is the apriori algorithm.Apriori algorithm is one of the
most frequently used algorothm in data mining.The three statistical measures in
market basket analysis are support, confidence, and lift. Support measures the
frequency an item appears in a given transactional data set, confidence measures
the algorithm’s predictive power or accuracy, and lift measures how much more
likely an item is purchased relative to its typical purchase rate. In our example,
we examined the transactional patterns of Backery purchases and discovered
both obvious and not-so-obvious patterns in certain transactions.
