Evaluation of Apriori Algorithm on Retail Market Transactional Database to get Frequent Itemsets
Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Research in Intelligent and Computing in Engineering, 2017
In Data mining the concept of association rule mining (ARM) is used to identify the frequent itemsets from large datasets. It defines frequent pattern mining from larger datasets using Apriori algorithm & FP-growth algorithm. The Apriori algorithm is a classic traditional algorithm for the mining all frequent itemsets and association rules. But, the traditional Apriori algorithm have some limitations i.e. there are more candidate sets generation & huge memory consumption, etc. Still, there is a scope for improvement to modify the existing Apriori algorithm for identifying frequent itemsets with a focus on reducing the computational time and memory space. This paper presents the analysis of existing Apriori algorithms and results of the traditional Apriori algorithm. Experimentation carried out on transactional database i.e. retail market for getting frequent itemsets. The traditional Apriori algorithm is evaluated in terms of support and confidence of transactional itemsets.
Aprioriis an algorithm for learning association rules. Apriori is designed to operate on databases containing transactions. As is common in association rule mining, given a set of item sets, the algorithm attempts to find subsets which are common to at least a minimum number candidate C of the item sets. Apriori uses a "bottom up" approach, where frequent subsets are extended one item at a time, and groups of candidates are tested against the data. The algorithm terminates when no further successful extensions are found. The purpose of the Apriori Algorithm is to find associations between different sets of data. It is sometimes referred to as "Market Basket Analysis". Each set of data has a number of items and is called a transaction. The output of Apriori is sets of rules that tell us how often items are contained in sets of data.
Improving the efficiency of Apriori Algorithm in Data Mining
In computer science and Data mining, Data mining, an interdisciplinary subfield of computer science, is the computational process of discovering patterns in large data sets in database systems. The overall goal of the data mining process is to extract information from a data set and transform it into an understandable structure for further use. In Data mining, Apriori is a classic algorithm for learning association rules. Apriori is designed to operate on databases containing transactions. Association rules are the main technique to determine the frequent item set in data mining. It is sometimes referred to as "Market Basket Analysis". This classical algorithm is inefficient due to so many scans of database. And if the database is large, it takes too much time to scan the database. In this paper we will build a method to obtain the frequent item-set by using a different approach to the classical Apriori algorithm and applying the concept of transaction reduction and a new matrix method, thereby eliminate the candidate having a subset that is not frequent.
An Enhanced Apriori Algorithm for Discovering Frequent Patterns with Optimal Number of Scans
ArXiv, 2015
Data mining is wide spreading its applications in several areas. There are different tasks in mining which provides solutions for wide variety of problems in order to discover knowledge. Among those tasks association mining plays a pivotal role for identifying frequent patterns. Among the available association mining algorithms Apriori algorithm is one of the most prevalent and dominant algorithm which is used to discover frequent patterns. This algorithm is used to discover frequent patterns from small to large databases. This paper points toward the inadequacy of the tangible Apriori algorithm of wasting time for scanning the whole transactional database for discovering association rules and proposes an enhancement on Apriori algorithm to overcome this problem. This enhancement is obtained by dropping the amount of time used in scanning the transactional database by just limiting the number of transactions while calculating the frequency of an item or item-pairs. This improved ver...
At present Data mining has a lot of e-Commerce applications. The key problem in this is how to find useful hidden patterns for better business applications in the retail sector. For the solution of those problems, The Apriori algorithm is the most popular data mining approach for finding frequent item sets from a transaction dataset and derives association rules. Association Rules are the discovered knowledge from the data base. Finding frequent item set (item sets with frequency larger than or equal to a user specified minimum support) is not trivial because of its combinatorial explosion. Once item sets are obtained, it is straightforward approach to generate association rules with confidence value larger than or equal to a user specified minimum confidence value.

Frequent pattern mining is a vital branch of Data Mining that supports frequent itemsets, frequent sequence and frequent structure mining. Our approach is regarding frequent itemsets mining. Frequent item sets mining plays an important role in association rules mining. Many algorithms have been developed for finding frequent item sets in very large transaction databases. This paper proposes an efficient SortRecursiveMine (Sorted and Recursive Mine) Algorithm for finding frequent item sets. This proposed method reduces the number of scans in the database by first finding the maximal frequent itemsets in the database and then all its subset consider as frequent according to Apriori property. Then reduce the database by just considering only those transactions which are 1-Itemset frequent but not contain in frequent itemsets and then mine the remaining left frequent itemsets. Our proposed SortRecursiveMine algorithm works well based on recursive condition. Thus it reduces the memory constraints and helps to efficiently mine frequent itemsets in less time. At last we are evaluating this method, and performed an experiment on a real dataset to test the run time of our proposed algorithm.
Efficiently Mining Frequent Itemsets in Transactional Databases
Journal of Marine Science and Technology, 2016
Discovering frequent itemsets is an essential task in association rules mining and it is considered to be computationally expensive. To find the frequent itemsets, the algorithm of frequent pattern growth (FP-growth) is one of the best algorithms for mining frequent patterns. However, many experimental results have shown that building conditional FP-trees during mining data using this FP-growth method will consume most of CPU time. In addition, it requires a lot of space to save the FP-trees. This paper presents a new approach for mining frequent item sets from a transactional database without building the conditional FP-trees. Thus, lots of computing time and memory space can be saved. Experimental results indicate that our method can reduce lots of running time and memory usage based on the datasets obtained from the FIMI repository website.

An Improved Apriori Algorithm For Association Rules
International Journal on Natural Language Computing, 2014
There are several mining algorithms of association rules. One of the most popular algorithms is Apriori that is used to extract frequent itemsets from large database and getting the association rule for discovering the knowledge. Based on this algorithm, this paper indicates the limitation of the original Apriori algorithm of wasting time for scanning the whole database searching on the frequent itemsets, and presents an improvement on Apriori by reducing that wasted time depending on scanning only some transactions. The paper shows by experimental results with several groups of transactions, and with several values of minimum support that applied on the original Apriori and our implemented improved Apriori that our improved Apriori reduces the time consumed by 67.38% in comparison with the original Apriori, and makes the Apriori algorithm more efficient and less time consuming.
