l a b . n e t: Pattern Discovery - Association Rules

http://blog.lab.net/2015/02/pattern-discovery-association-rules.html

L a b . n e t. Making mistakes so you don't have to. Pattern Discovery - Association Rules. The conditional probability of pattern Y appearing when pattern X appears. The formula for confidence is the support of the union of patterns X and Y, divided by the support of pattern X:. X ∪ Y) / s(X). Minimum confidence, below which a potential association is uninteresting or meaningless. The association rule is. X → Y (s, c). That is, X implies Y when support(. Both X and Y must be k-itemsets where k 1.

L a b . n e t. Making mistakes so you don't have to. Pattern Discovery - FPGrowth Database Projection. Sometimes the FP-Trees generated by FPGrowth are too large to fit in memory. There are two methods of breaking the work into smaller pieces, one which can be mined in parallel at a cost of high storage consumption, and one which requires serial processing but uses less extra storage. These techniques are collectively known as database projection. Perform a second scan. For each transaction:. Project tha...

L a b . n e t. Making mistakes so you don't have to. Pattern Discovery - ECLAT. ECLAT: Equivalence Class Transformation. This mining method transforms a horizontal database mapping transaction IDs to itemsets, into a vertical database mapping items to the TIDs that item appears in. This format makes calculating the support for a particular itemset easy, as one simply counts the number of TIDs associated with that itemset. TID List Calculation for k-itemset. Beneficial Properties of TID Lists. Ds(Y, X) (u...

http://blog.lab.net/2015/02/pattern-discovery-apriori-refinements.html

L a b . n e t. Making mistakes so you don't have to. Pattern Discovery - Apriori Refinements. The basic Apriori algorithm is much better than brute force, but can still be made more efficient. First, an outline of some methods, most of which I have no idea what they mean but were included in the slides and could be researched later, assuming Apriori is at all relevant in the modern context. Partitioning (see Partitioning section). Pruning via support lower bounding (see DHP section). Naively, one may won...

l a b . n e t: Pattern Discovery - Compressed Representations

http://blog.lab.net/2015/02/pattern-discovery-compressed.html

L a b . n e t. Making mistakes so you don't have to. Pattern Discovery - Compressed Representations. When mining patterns from a large dataset, the number of distinct patterns grows in a combinatorial explosion, and can quickly overwhelm storage and processing capacity. So, instead of storing all patterns, we can instead store a single pattern which implies a whole collection of sub-patterns. Pattern X is closed when it is frequent and there exists no.

http://blog.lab.net/2015/02/pattern-discovery-apriori-algorithm.html

L a b . n e t. Making mistakes so you don't have to. Pattern Discovery - Apriori Algorithm. Mining an entire dataset for patterns using naive brute-force is extremely time-consuming and probably consists of exponential complexity. Various algorithms exist which are far more efficient than a brute-force search. The first under consideration is the Apriori algorithm. The efficiency derives from the property that, for itemset X to be frequent, all possible subsets Y must also. This is based on the. Set k = 1.
