The first step of the association rule mining algorithm Apriori generate a lot of candidate item sets which are not frequent item sets, and all of these item sets cost a lot of system spending. To solve this problem,this paper presents an improved algorithm based on Apriori algorithm to improve the Apriori pruning step. Using this method, the large number of useless candidate item sets can be reduced effectively and it can also reduce the times of judge whether the item sets are frequent item sets. Experimental results show that the improved algorithm has better efficiency than classic Apriori algorithm.
