Aim: Implementation of Association Rule Mining algorithm (Apriori)

Theory:
Association Rule-
Association rule mining finds interesting associations and relationships among large sets of data items.
This rule shows how frequently a itemset occurs in a transaction. A typical example is Market Based
Analysis.
Market Based Analysis is one of the key techniques used by large relations to show associations
between items.It allows retailers to identify relationships between the items that people buy together
frequently.

Theory:
⮚ The Apriori Algorithm is an influential algorithm for mining frequent
itemsets for
boolean association rules. Apriori uses a “bottom up" approach, where
frequent subsets are extended one item at a tirne (a step known as candidate
generation, and groups of candidates are tested against the data.
⮚ Apriori is designed to operate on database containing transactions (For example,
collections of items bought by customers, or details of a website frequentation).
⮚ Apriori algorithm is well known association rule algorithm is used in most commercial
product. It uses itemset property: Any subset of large item set must be large

Algorithm: Input:
D: a database of transactions;
Min_sup : the minimum support count
threshold. Output: Method:
L1 = find_frequent_1-
itemsets(D); For (k=2; Lk-1 not
equal to null, k++){
Ck=Apriori_gen(Lk-1);
For each transaction t
belongs D{ Ct=
subset(Ck,t);
For each candidate c belong
to Ct c.count++;
}
Lk ={c belongs to Ck |c.count>=min_sup}
}
Return L=Uk Lk ;
Procedure Apriori_gen(LK-1 :frequent(k-1)-itemsets)
(1) For each itemset L1 belongs to Lk-1
(2) For each itemsetL2 belongs to Lk-1
(3) If(l1(1)=l2(l1)^(l1(2)=l2(2))^…….^(l1[k-2]=l2[k-2])^(l1[k-1]<l2[k-1]) then

(1) { c=l1 join l2;// join step : generatecandidates


(2) If has_infrequent_subset(c, Lk-1 ) then
(3) Delete c;//prune step;remove unfruitful candidate
(4) Else add c to Ck
(8) }
(9) Return Ck;
Procedure has_infrequent_subset(c:candidate k-itemset;
Lk-1:frequent(k-1)-itemsets);//use priori knowledge
(1) For each(k-1)-subset s of c
(2) If s does not belong to Lk-1 then
(3) return TRUE;
(4) return FALSE;

Advantages and Disadvantages of Apriori algorithm


Advantages:
1. The algorithm makes use of large itemset property.
2. The method can be easily parallelized
3. The algorithm is easy from implementation point of view

Disadvantages:
1. Although the algorithm is easy to implement it needs many database scans which
reduces the overall performance.
2. Due to Database scans , the algorithm assumes transaction database is memory
resident.

Results:
Conclusion: Hence, we have successfully implemented, executed and understood
associate rule mining.
