Association Rule Mining

Given a set of transactions, find rules that will predict the
occurrence of an item based on the occurrences of other
items in the transaction

Introduction to Data Mining
Example of Association Rules
{Diaper}  {Beer},
{Milk, Bread}  {Eggs,Coke},
{Beer, Bread}  {Milk},
Implication means co-occurrence,
not causality!

Definition: Frequent Itemset
l
Itemset
– A collection of one or more items

Example: {Milk, Bread, Diaper}
– k-itemset

l
An itemset that contains k items
Support count ()
– Frequency of occurrence of an itemset
– E.g. ({Milk, Bread,Diaper}) = 2

– Fraction of transactions that contain an
itemset
– E.g. s({Milk, Bread, Diaper}) = 2/5
l
Frequent Itemset
– An itemset whose support is greater
than or equal to a minsup threshold

Definition: Association Rule
l
Association Rule
– An implication expression of the form
X  Y, where X and Y are itemsets

{Milk, Diaper}  {Beer}

Example:
Fraction of transactions that contain

appear in transactions that
contain X

Association Rule Mining Task
Given a set of transactions T, the goal of
association rule mining is to find all rules having
– support ≥ minsup threshold
– confidence ≥ minconf threshold
Brute-force approach:
– List all possible association rules
– Compute the support and confidence for each rule
– Prune rules that fail the minsup and minconf
thresholds
 Computationally prohibitive!

Apriori Algorithm
Method:
– Let k=1
– Generate frequent itemsets of length 1
– Repeat until no new frequent itemsets are identified
 Generate
length (k+1) candidate itemsets from length k
frequent itemsets
 Prune candidate itemsets containing subsets of length k that
are infrequent
 Count the support of each candidate by scanning the DB
 Eliminate candidates that are infrequent, leaving only those
that are frequent

Apriori in DB2S. Sarawagi, S. Thomas and R. Agrawal. "Integrating
association rule mining with databases: alternatives
and implications". Proc. of the ACM SIGMOD Int'l
Conference on Management of Data, Seattle,
Washington, June 1998. BEST PAPER AWARD.
An extented version also appeared in Data Mining and
Knowledge Discovery Journal, 4(2/3), July 2000.
Because of the obvious challenges, reinforced by this
paper, vendors and researchers gave up on the idea of
turning DBMS into data mining systems: OLAP are
tightly integrated into the DBMS but the KDD methods
are not.

The best Algorithm combines both
FP-growth Algorithm
Use a compressed representation of the
database using an FP-tree
Once an FP-tree has been constructed, it uses a
recursive divide-and-conquer approach to mine
the frequent itemsets
