Apriori algorithm
The Apriori algorithm is a popular method used in data mining for mining
frequent itemsets and discovering association rules. It is particularly well
known in the field of market basket analysis, where it helps find patterns
of items frequently purchased together.
Interpretation:
The bar plot visualizes the top 10 frequent itemsets from a dataset,
ranked by their support values. Support indicates how frequently each
itemset appears in the dataset (in this case, it looks like there are fewer
than 10 itemsets, so all are displayed).
1. frozenset({'bread'}):
o Support: Close to 0.85 (85%). o Interpretation: Bread
appears in around 85% of the transactions. This is the most
frequent item in the dataset.
2. frozenset({'butter'}):
o Support: Approximately 0.7 (70%).
o Interpretation: Butter appears in about 70% of the
transactions. It is the second most common item.
3. frozenset({'milk'}):
o Support: Around 0.65 (65%). o Interpretation: Milk is present
in approximately 65% of the transactions, making it another
frequent item.
4. frozenset({'butter', 'bread'}):
o Support: Close to 0.6 (60%). o Interpretation: Both butter
and bread are bought together in about 60% of the
transactions. This indicates a strong cooccurrence between
these two items.
5. frozenset({'cheese'}):
o Support: Around 0.45 (45%). o Interpretation: Cheese
appears in 45% of the transactions. Though not as frequent
as bread or butter, it is still relatively common.
6. frozenset({'milk', 'bread'}):
o Support: Approximately 0.4 (40%). o Interpretation: Milk and
bread are purchased together in about 40% of transactions.
This indicates another frequent combination.

Inference:
• Bread is the most frequent item and is found in almost 85% of the
transactions, indicating its strong dominance in the dataset.
• Butter and milk are also frequent individual items, appearing in
70% and 65% of transactions, respectively.
• Itemsets like ‘butter & bread’ and ‘milk & bread’ show that these
combinations of items are common in transactions, possibly
indicating complementary or related products.
• Cheese appears less frequently than other items, but it still shows
a reasonable support (about 45%).
