Terms in this set (103)



market basket analysis an unsupervised data mining technique for determining sales patterns


Frequent Pattern Mining closed pattern X = no super-pattern Y given X with the same support; max-
pattern X = no super-pattern Y given X


Apriori Algorithm A fast method of finding frequent itemsets, which also involves pruning non-
frequent items and self-joining of k-itemsets only if their first (k-1) items are
the same.


What challenges are there with apriori algorithm? multiple scans of whole dataset, huge number of candidates, support
counting of all candidates


Improvements for apriori algorithm? Partitioning, Sampling, Transaction reduction


Vertical data format Mining frequent itemsets using the ________________________ is a method that
transposes the rows of a given data set into columns.

FP-Growth Algorithm If 'd' is frequent in DB | abc, then abcd is frequent (avoid candidate
generation)


Association Rules Association rules specify a relation between attributes that appears more
frequently than expected if the attributes were independent.


Correlation rules Measure of dependent/correlated events: lift(A,B) = P(A U B) / P(A)P(B)


Rules of lift (correlation) lift = 1 (independent), lift > 1 (positive), lift < 1 (negative)


Metarule-Guided Mining P1 and P2 and ..... and Px => Q1 and Q2 and .... and Qy


Supervised Learning Predefined classes, training data with groundtruth label


Unsupervised Learning No predefined classes; aims to identify potential clusters/patterns


Classification categorical class labels (e.g. fraud detection)


Prediction Continuous numerical values (e.g. stock prices)
