CHARM: An Efficient Algorithm for Closed Association Rule Mining
نویسندگان
چکیده
The task of mining association rules consists of two main steps. The first involves finding the set of all frequent itemsets. The second step involves testing and generating all high confidence rules among itemsets. In this paper we show that it is not necessary to mine all frequent itemsets in the first step, instead it is sufficient to mine the set of closed frequent itemsets, which is much smaller than the set of all frequent itemsets. It is also not necessary to mine the set of all possible rules. We show that any rule between itemsets is equivalent to some rule between closed itemsets. Thus many redundant rules can be eliminated. Furthermore, we present CHARM, an efficient algorithm for mining all closed frequent itemsets. An extensive experimental evaluation on a number of real and synthetic databases shows that CHARM outperforms previous methods by an order of magnitude or more. It is also linearly scalable in the number of transactions and the number of closed itemsets found.

A new approach based on data envelopment analysis with double frontiers for ranking the discovered rules from data mining
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a relatively new data oriented approach to evaluate performance of a set of peer entities called decision-making units (DMUs) that convert multiple inputs into multiple outputs. Within a relative limited period, DEA has been converted into a strong quantitative and analytical tool to measure and evaluate performance. In an article written by Toloo et al. (2009...
متن کاملMining Top-K Frequent Closed Patterns without Minimum Support
In this paper, we propose a new mining task: mining top-k frequent closed patterns of length no less than min `, where k is the desired number of frequent closed patterns to be mined, and min ` is the minimal length of each pattern. An efficient algorithm, called TFP, is developed for mining such patterns without minimum support. Two methods, closed node count and descendant sum are proposed to...
متن کاملEfficient Vertical Mining of Frequent Closed Itemsets and Generators
The effective construction of many association rule bases require the computation of both frequent closed and frequent generator itemsets (FCIs/FGs). However, these two tasks are rarely combined. Most of the existing solutions apply levelwise breadth-first traversal, though depth-first traversal is knowingly superior. Hence, we address here the depth-first FCI/FG-mining. The proposed algorithm,...

متن کاملEfficient Vertical Mining of Frequent Closures and Generators
The effective construction of many association rule bases requires the computation of both frequent closed and frequent generator itemsets (FCIs/FGs). However, only few miners address both concerns, typically by applying levelwise breadth-first traversal. As depth-first traversal is known to be superior, we examine here the depth-first FCI/FG-mining. The proposed algorithm, Touch, deals with bo...
