Flowchart of Pincer Search Algorithm

This document describes the Apriori algorithm for frequent itemset mining. It starts with a set of candidate itemsets and iterates through multiple passes over the transactional data to determine which itemsets meet the minimum support threshold. In each pass, it prunes any candidates that cannot possibly be frequent based on subsets not being frequent in previous passes. The final output is the set of frequent itemsets that meet the minimum support.
