Frequent pattern discovery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Frequent pattern mining)

Frequent pattern discovery (or FP discovery, FP mining, or Frequent itemset mining) is part of knowledge discovery in databases, Massive Online Analysis, and data mining; it describes the task of finding the most frequent and relevant patterns in large datasets.[1][2] The concept was first introduced for mining transaction databases.[3] Frequent patterns are defined as subsets (itemsets, subsequences, or substructures) that appear in a data set with frequency no less than a user-specified or auto-determined threshold.[2][4]

Techniques

[edit]

Techniques for FP mining include:

For the most part, FP discovery can be done using association rule learning with particular algorithms Eclat, FP-growth and the Apriori algorithm.

Other strategies include:

and respective specific techniques.

Implementations exist for various machine learning systems or modules like MLlib for Apache Spark.[5]
