THE APRIORI ALGORITHM PRESENTED BY MAINUL HASSAN
INTRODUCTION The Apriori Algorithmis an influential algorithm for mining frequent itemsets for boolean association rules Some key points in Apriori algorithm – • To mine frequent itemsets from traditional database for boolean association rules. • A subset of frequent itemset must also be frequent itemsets. For example, if {l1, l2} is a frequent itemset then {l1}, {l2} should be frequent itemsets. • An iterative way to find frequent itemsets. • Use the frequent itemsets to generate association rules.
CONCEPTS • A set of all items in a store • A set of all transactions (Transactional Database T) • Each is a set of items s.t. • Each transaction has a transaction ID (TID). Apriori algorithm divided into 3 sections as – },....,,{ 21 miiiI  },....,,{ 21 NtttT  it lt  it Initial frequent itemsets Candidate generation Support calculation Candidate pruning
CONCEPTS • Uses level wise search where k itemsets are use to explore (k+1) itemset. • Frequent subsets are extended one item at a time, which is known as candidate generation process. • Groups of candidates are texted against the data. • It identifies the frequent individual items in the database and extends them to larger and larger itemsets as long as those itemsets appear sufficiently often in the database. • Apriori algorithm determines frequent itemset to determine association rules. • All infrequent itemsets can be pruned if it has an infrequent subset.
THE APRIORI ALGORITHM – PSEDUO CODE o Join Step: is generated by joining with itself. o Prune Step: Any (k-1) itemset that is not frequent cannot be a subset of a frequent k itemset o Pseduo – Code: : candidate itemset of size k : frequent itemset of size k = {frequent items}; for (k = 1; != ; k++) do begin candidate key generated from for each transaction t in database do increment the count of all candidates in that are contained in t = candidate in with min_support end return kC 1kL kC kL 1L kL  1kC kL 1kC 1kL 1kC kk L
HOW THE ALGORITHM WORKS 1. We have to build candidate list for k itemsets and extract a frequent list of k-itemsets using support count. 2. After that we use the frequent list of k itemsets in determining the candidate and frequent list of k+1 itemsets. 3. We use pruning to do that. 4. We repeat until we have an empty candidate or frequent support of k itemsets. 5. Then return the list of k-1 itemsets.
EXAMPLE OF APRIORI ALGORITHM Consider the following Transactional Database – Setp 1: Minimum support count = 2 TID Items T100 1 2 3 T200 2 3 5 T300 1 2 3 5 T400 2 5 T500 1 3 5 itemse ts Support {1} 3 {2} 3 {3} 4 {4} 1 {5} 4 Candidate itemset -1 Frequent itemset -1 itemse ts Support {1} 3 {2} 3 {3} 4 {5} 4 prune Because minimum support count is 2
EXAMPLE OF APRIORI ALGORITHM Step 2: itemse ts suppor t {1, 2} 1 {1, 3} 3 {1, 5} 2 {2, 3} 2 {2, 5} 3 {3, 5} 3 TID Items T100 1 2 3 T200 2 3 5 T300 1 2 3 5 T400 2 5 T500 1 3 5 Candidate itemset -2 itemse ts Support {1, 3} 3 {1, 5} 2 {2, 3} 2 {2, 5} 3 {3, 5} 3 Frequent itemset - 2 prune Database
EXAMPLE OF APRIORI ALGORITHM Step 3: itemsets In FI2? {1, 2, 3} {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3} No {1, 2, 5} {1, 3}, {1, 5}, {2, 5} Yes {1, 3, 5} {1, 3}, {1, 5}, {3, 5} No {2, 3, 5} Yes TID Items T100 1 2 3 T200 2 3 5 T300 1 2 3 5 T400 2 5 T500 1 3 5 Candidate itemset -3 itemse ts support {1, 3, 5} 2 {2, 3, 5} 2 Frequent itemset - 3 itemse ts Support {1, 3} 3 {1, 5} 2 {2, 3} 2 {2, 5} 3 Frequent itemset - 2 Don’t match Remember .. A subset of frequent itemset must also be frequent itemsets Database Same as other two itemsets
EXAMPLE OF APRIORI ALGORITHM Step 4: itemsets suppor t {1, 2, 3, 5} 1 TID Items T100 1 2 3 T200 2 3 5 T300 1 2 3 5 T400 2 5 T500 1 3 5 Candidate itemset -4 itemse ts Support Empty Frequent itemset - 4 prune Database itemsets In FI -3 {1, 2, 3, 5} {1, 2, 3 }, {1, 2, 5}, {1, 3, 5}, {2, 3, 5} No itemse ts support {1, 3, 5} 2 Frequent itemset - 3 Don’t match Remember .. A subset of frequent itemset must also be frequent itemsets Candidate itemset -4 The itemsets is empty so Split
APRIORI ALGORITHM • Advantages • Uses large itemsets property • Easily parallelized • Easy to implement • Disadvantages • Assumes transaction database is memory resident. • Requires many database scans.
