A Review On Frequent Pattern Mining Algorithms

Abstract

Frequent itemsets play an essential role in many data
mining tasks thattry to find interesting patterns from databases,
such as association rules,correlations, sequences, episodes,
classifiers, clusters and many more of whichthe mining of
association rules is one of the most popular problems. The
original motivation for searching association rules came from the
need toanalyze so called supermarket transaction data, that is, to
examine customer behavior in terms of the purchased products.
Association rules describehow often items are purchased
together. For example, an association rule“beer ⇒ chips (80%)”
states that four out of five customers that boughtbeer also bought
chips. Such rules can be useful for decisions concerning product
pricing, promotions, store layout and many others.
