2. Data Mining:
Data mining is the efficient discovery of
valuable, non obvious information from a
large collection of data.

3.  Most important concepts in Data-mining
 Item-set & frequent item-set:
 Market Basket model
Frequent Item-set:
Prepared By- Mr.Nilesh Magar

4. Example Of Market basket Model:
B1 = {m, c, b} B2 = {m, p, j} B3 = {m, b} B4 = {c, j}
B5 = {m, p, b} B6 = {m, c, b, j} B7 = {c, b, j} B8 = {b, c}
Suppose Min support =3
Frequent item-sets: {m:5}, {c:5}, {b:6}, {j:4}, {m, b:4}, {c,
b:4}, {j, c:3}.

5. Association Rule:
 Medical diagnosis dataset-symptoms and illness.
 A rule is define as an implication of the form X Y where X,Y
I (Items). Or in other words: if { i1, i2,…, ik} j, means: if a
basket contains all of i1,…, ik then it is likely to Contain j.
 The probability of finding Y for us to accept this rule is called
the confidence of the rule.
 Conf(X Y)=SUPP(X U Y)/SUPP(X)
 {m,b}c ::: Confidence = 2/4 = 50%
 Thus Association mining is 2 step Process:
Find all frequent item-sets:
Generate Strong association rules from frequent item-setPrepared By- Mr.Nilesh Magar

6. The Apriori algorithm
 Mining frequent item-set for Boolean association rule
 Prior knowledge
 Iterative approach known as level-wise search k-item-
sets are used to explore (k+1)-item-sets
 One full scan of the database required to find lK , L1->
Items with Min Support. L2-> generating 2-item-set etc.

7.  Two steps:
Join
finding Lk, a set of candidate k-itemsets is generated
by joining Lk-1 with itself
Prune
To reduce the size of Ck the Apriori property is used:
if any (k-1) subset of a candidate k-itemset is not in
Lk-1, then the candidate cannot be frequent either,so
it can be removed from Ck. – subset testing.

11.  Scan D for count of each candidate
 C1: I1 – 6, I2 – 7, I3 -6, I4 – 2, I5 - 2
 Compare candidate support count with minimum support count (min_sup=2)
 L1: I1 – 6, I2 – 7, I3 -6, I4 – 2, I5 - 2
 Generate C2 candidates from L1 and scan D for count of each candidate
 C2: {I1,I2} – 4, {I1, I3} – 4, {I1, I4} – 1, …
 Compare candidate support count with minimum support count
 L2: {I1,I2} – 4, {I1, I3} – 4, {I1, I5} – 2, {I2, I3} – 4, {I2, I4} - 2, {I2, I5} – 2
 Generate C3 candidates from L2 using the join and prune steps:
 Join: C3=L2xL2={{I1, I2, I3}, {I1, I2, I5}, {I1, I3, I5}, {I2, I3, I4}, {I2, I3, I5}, {I2, I4,
I5}}
 Prune: C3: {I1, I2, I3}, {I1, I2, I5}
 Scan D for count of each candidate
 C3: {I1, I2, I3} - 2, {I1, I2, I5} – 2
 Compare candidate support count with minimum support count
 L3: {I1, I2, I3} – 2, {I1, I2, I5} – 2
 Generate C4 candidates from L3
 C4=L3xL3={I1, I2, I3, I5}
 This itemset is pruned, because its subset {{I2, I3, I5}} is not frequent => C4=null

12. Generating association rules from
frequent item-sets: from Slide 5
Finding the frequent item-sets from
transactions in a database D
Generating strong association rules:
Confidence(A=>B)=P(B|A)=
support_count(AUB)/support_count(A)
support_count(AUB) – number of transactions
containing the itemsets AUB
support_count(A) - number of transactions containing
the itemsets A
Prepared By- Mr.Nilesh Magar

13.  Example:
 lets have l={I1, I2, I5}
 The nonempty subsets are {I1, I2}, {I1, I5}, {I2, I5}, {I1}, {I2}, {I5}.
 Generating association rules:
I1 and I2=>I5 conf=2/4=50%
I1 and I5=>I2 conf=2/2=100%
I2 and I5=> I1 conf=2/2=100%
I1=>I2 and I5 conf=2/6=33%
I2=>I1 and I5 conf=2/7=29%
I5=>I1 and I2 conf=2/2=100%
If min_conf is 70%, then only the second, third and last rules above
are output.

14. Advantages & Disadvantages:
 Adv:
 1) Uses Large item-set
Property
 2) Easily parallelized
 3) Easy to implement
Dis-Adv:
1) Assumes
transaction
database is
memory resident
Requires up to ‘m’
database scan.

15. Mining Frequent Itemsets without
candidate generation
The candidate generate and test method
It may need to generate a huge number of
candidate sets
It may need to repeatedly scan the database
and check a large set of candidates by pattern
matching
Frequent-pattern growth method(FP-
growth) – frequent pattern tree(FP-tree)
