Apriori
Algorith
m is one of the classic algorithm used in
Data Mining to find association rules. An
initial reading to Apriori might look
complex but it's not. Let me give an
example and try explaining it:

Suppose we have transactions of a shopping

centre as below:
Learning association rule means finding
those items which were bought together
most often i.e. single items, pair-wise items,
triples etc.

So, as I mentioned earlier Apriori is a classic

and the most basic algorithm when it comes
to find association rules. A lot of resources
are available over the internet which we can
find, but here I will try to make it intuitive
and easy.

Algorithm:

- A two-pass algorithm which limits the

need for main memory. Popular Posts
- One of the Key Idea behind Apriori is
Java : Encryption and
Monotonicity: If a set of items I appear

at least s times, so does every subset J of

with example code

There are many

And, if the count of item is more Image

then the item i is frequent. Save : Edge

Step 5: Now again, follow the
Golden Rule, and discard non-
frequent paris.

Now we have a table with pair of frequent

items. Suppose we want to find frequent
triplets. We the above table and make all
the possible combinations.

Step 6: Make combinations of

triples using the frequent Item
pairs.
To make triples, the rule is: IF 12 and 13 are
frequent, then the triple would be 123.
Similarly, if 24 and 26 then triple would be
246.

So, using the above logic and our Frequent

ItemPairs table, we get the below triples:

Step 7: Get the count of the above

triples (Candidates).

After, this, if we can find quartets,

then we find those and count
their occurrence/frequency. 

If we had 123, 124, 134, 135, 234 and

we wanted to generate a quartet
then it would be 1234 and 1345. And
after finding quartet we would have
again got their count of occurrence
/frequency and repeated the
same also, until the Frequent
ItemSet is null.
Thus, the frequent ItemSets are:

- Frequent Itemsets of Size 1: 1, 2, 4,

5, 6
- Frequent Itemsets of Size 2: 14, 24,
25, 45, 46
- Frequent Itemsets of Size 3: 245

association rule formed is, i.e. calculating

Thanks for this tutorial. I found here only a
clear and illuminating example about the
solution this algorithm would output.

I have a question about the problem I am

trying to solve:
on the 'Step 7' quartets generated are 1234
and 1345, but how can I do for obtaining
1234 only (because, for my purpose, I can't
 build 1345 for the reason that 1345 is
compose by 134,135,145,345 subsets and
145 and also 345 are not among the triples.

very Helpful!, by the way, if using fp-growth
