Mining Association Rule

Association rule mining is an important research topic in data mining. Association rule mining consists of two steps: finding frequent itemsets and then extracting interesting rules from the frequent itemsets. In the first step, efficiency is important since discovering frequent itemsets is computationally time consuming. In the second step, unbiased assessment is important for good decision making. In this paper, we deal with both the efficiency of the mining algorithm and the measure of interest of the resulting rules. First, we present an algorithm for finding frequent itemsets that uses a vertical database. We also introduce a modified vertical data format to reduce the size of the database and an itemset reordering strategy to reduce the size of the intermediate tidsets. Second, we present a new measure to evaluate the interest of the resulting association rules. Our performance analysis shows that our proposed algorithm reduces the size of the intermediate tidsets that are generated during the mining process. The smaller tidsets make intersection operations faster. Using our interest-measuring test helps to avoid the discovery of misleading rules.

Mining Algorithms

Frequent itemset mining is a major field in data mining techniques. This is because it deals with usual and normal occurrences of set of items in a database transaction. Originated from market basket analysis, frequent itemset generation may lead to the formulation of association rule as to derive correlation or patterns.  Association rule mining still remains as one of the most prominent areas in data mining that aims to extract interesting correlations, frequent patterns, association or casual structures among set of items in the transaction databases. Underlying structure of association rules mining algorithms are based upon horizontal or vertical data formats. These two data formats have been widely discussed by showing few examples of algorithm of each data formats. The works on horizontal approaches suffer in many candidate generation and multiple database scans that contributes to higher memory consumptions. In response to improve on horizontal approach, the works on vertical approaches are established. Eclat algorithm is one example of algorithm in vertical approach database format. Motivated to its ‘fast intersection’, in this paper, we review and analyze the fundamental Eclat and Eclat-variants such as tidset, diffset, and sortdiffset. In response to vertical data format and as a continuity to Eclat extension, we propose a postdiffset algorithm as a new member in Eclat variants that use tidset format in the first looping and diffset in the later looping. We present the performance of postdiffset results in time execution as to indicate some improvements has been achieved in frequent itemset mining.
