3 Data Mining (Apriori Algorithm)DCS 802, Spring 2002 2 Association Rules Definition: Rules that state a statistical correlation between the occurrence of certain attributes in a database table. Given a set of transactions, where each transaction is a set of items, X 1,..., X n and Y, an association rule is an expression X 1,..., X n  Y. This means that the attributes X 1,..., X n predict Y Intuitive meaning of such a rule: transactions in the database which contain the items in X tend also to contain the items in Y.

4 Data Mining (Apriori Algorithm)DCS 802, Spring 2002 3 Measures for an Association Rule Support : Given the association rule X 1,..., X n  Y, the support is the percentage of records for which X 1,..., X n and Y both hold. The statistical significance of the association rule. Confidence : Given the association rule X 1,..., X n  Y, the confidence is the percentage of records for which Y holds, within the group of records for which X 1,..., X n hold. The degree of correlation in the dataset between X and Y. A measure of the rule’s strength.

6 Data Mining (Apriori Algorithm)DCS 802, Spring 2002 5 Apriori Algorithm An efficient algorithm to find association rules. Procedure  Procedure  Find all the frequent itemsets :  Use the frequent itemsets to generate the association rules A frequent itemset is a set of items that have support greater than a user defined minimum.

7 Data Mining (Apriori Algorithm)DCS 802, Spring 2002 6 Notation An itemset having k items. k-itemset LkLk Set of candidate k-itemsets (those with minimum support). Each member of this set has two fields: i) itemset and ii) support count. CkCk Set of candidate k-itemsets (potentially frequent itemsets). Each member of this set has two fields: i) itemset and ii) support count. The sample transaction database D The set of all frequent items.F

10 Data Mining (Apriori Algorithm)DCS 802, Spring 2002 9 Candidate Generation Given L k-1, the set of all frequent (k-1)-itemsets, generate a superset of the set of all frequent k-itemsets. Idea : if an itemset X has minimum support, so do all subsets of X. 1. Join L k-1 with L k-1 2. Prune: delete all itemsets c  C k such that some (k-1)-subset of c is not in L k-1. ex) L 2 = { {A,C}, {B,C}, {B,E}, {C,E} } 1. Join : { {A,B,C}, {A,C,E}, {B,C,E} } 2. Prune : { {A,B,C}, {A,C,E}, {B,C,E} } {A, E}  L 2 Instead of 5 C 3 = 10, we have only 1 candidate. {A, B}  L 2

11 Data Mining (Apriori Algorithm)DCS 802, Spring 2002 10 Thoughts Association rules are always defined on binary attributes.  Need to flatten the tables. ex) CIDGenderEthnicityCall MFWBHADICID Phone Company DB. - Support for Asian ethnicity will never exceed.5. - No need to consider itemsets {M,F}, {W,B} nor {D,I}. - M  F or D  I are not of interest at all. * Considering the original schema before flattening may be a good idea.

12 Data Mining (Apriori Algorithm)DCS 802, Spring 2002 11 Finding association rules with item constraints When item constraints are considered, the Apriori candidate generation procedure does not generate all the potential frequent itemsets as candidates. Procedure  Procedure 1. Find all the frequent itemsets that satisfy the boolean expression B. 2. Find the support of all subsets of frequent itemsets that do not satisfy B. 3. Generate the association rules from the frequent itemsets found in Step 1. by computing confidences from the frequent itemsets found in Steps 1 & 2.

14 Data Mining (Apriori Algorithm)DCS 802, Spring 2002 13  Procedure 1. Scan the data and determine L 1 and F. 2. Find L b(1) 3. Generate C b(k+1) from L b(k) 3-1. C k+1 = L k x F 3-2. Delete all candidates in C k+1 that do not satisfy B. 3-3. Delete all candidates in C k+1 below the minimum support. 3-4. for each D i with exactly k + 1 non-negated elements, add the itemset to C k+1 if all the items are frequent. Direct Algorithm
