1. Association Rules Overview Association Rule : relations between variables in large databases. Eg (Bread, Butter) => (Milk) Algorithms for finding association rules – Apriori algorithm : – Eclat algorithm – FP-growth algorithm – One-attribute-rule – Zero-attribute-rule

2. Apriori Overview Best-known algorithm to mine association rules Advantages – Find all rules – Simple Disadvantages – Suffers from a number of inefficiencies or trade- offs – Operate in binary data only

3. Apriori Algorithms Find all frequent itemsets: – Get frequent items: Items whose occurrence in database is greater than or equal to the min support. – Get frequent itemsets: Generate candidates from frequent items. Use the candidate to find the frequent itemsets. Repeat until there are no new candidates. Generate strong association rules from frequent itemsets – Rules which satisfy the min support and min confidence.

4. IMPROVEMENT 4.1. Segmental Values (mờ hóa dữ liệu) 4.2. Get Support (Speed up algorithms) 4.3. Weight Rules (Find important rules)

4.1. Segmental Values Major disadvantage of Apriori Algorithms is that it must work on binary database. -> Must convert conventional database to binary database Value Types – Category values – Continuous values (eg. Age, money, ….)

4.1. Segmental Values Fuzzy Set – Triangle Function 0 1 a b c

4.1. Segmental Values Fuzzy Set ―Trapezoid Function 0 1 ab cd

4.1. Segmental Values Age values (0->100) – Young = F1(x,0,0,20,25) (red line) – Middle = F2(x,20,30,40,45) (blue line) – Old = F3(x,40,45,100,100) (yellow line) – MinWT = Example : if F1(43) = 0; F2(43) = 0.5; F3(43) = 0.6) => 43 year old person is consider as both Middle and Old

4.2. Get Support This procedure is the most time consuming part in the algorithms. L1-ItemsetSupport {A}2 {B}3 {C}3 {E}3 L2-ItemsetSupport {AC}2 {BC}2 {BE}3 {CE}2 ItemSupport {AB}1 {AC}2 {AE}1 {BC}2 {BE}3 {CE}2 Joint Check Support ItemSupport {A}2 {B}3 {C}3 {D}1 {E}3 Check Support

4.2. Get Support Transaction ACDE BCE ABCE BCE AB SETElements A{1,3,5} B{2,3,4,5} C{1,2,3,4} D{1} E{1,2,3,4} => Need algorithms to calculate intersection of two set (HASH SET)

4.3. Weight Rules Rules are in form: A => B Eg: (Buying time = Morning & Buying Method = Online => Bill Amount = High) Some component are more interested than others (such as Bill Amount) => Each component is weighted Importance of rule A=>B is
