DEFINITION OF APRIORI ALGORITHM
• The Apriori Algorithm is an influential algorithm for mining frequent
itemsets for boolean association rules.
• Apriori uses a "bottom up" approach, where frequent subsets are
extended one item at a time (a step known as candidate generation,
and groups of candidates are tested against the data.
• Apriori is designed to operate on database containing transactions
(for example, collections of items bought by customers, or details of
a website frequentation).
KEY CONCEPTS
 Frequent Itemsets: All the sets which contain the item
with the minimum support (denoted by 𝐿𝑖 for 𝑖𝑡ℎ itemset).
 Apriori Property: Any subset of frequent itemset must be
frequent.
 Join Operation: To find 𝐿𝑘 , a set of candidate k-itemsets
is generated by joining 𝐿𝑘−1 with itself.
Apriori algorithm
MARKET BASKET ANALYSIS
 Provides insight into which products tend to be purchased together
and which are most amenable to promotion.
 Actionable rules
 Trivial rules
• People who buy chalk-piece also buy duster
 Inexplicable
• People who buy mobile also buy bag
Apriori algorithm
The Apriori Algorithm : Pseudo Code
• Join Step: 𝐶𝑘 is generated by joining 𝐿𝑘−1 with itself
• Prune Step: Any (k-1)-itemset that is not frequent cannot be a subset of
a frequent k-itemset
• Pseudo-code :𝐶𝑘: Candidate itemset of size k
𝐿𝑘: frequent itemset of size k
L1 = {frequent items};
for (k = 1; Lk !=null; k++) do begin
Ck+1 = candidates generated from Lk;
for each transaction t in database do
increment the count of all candidates in Ck+1
that are contained in t
Lk+1 = candidates in Ck+1 with min_support
end
return k Lk;
LIMITATIONS
 Apriori algorithm can be very slow and the bottleneck is
candidate generation.
 For example, if the transaction DB has 104 frequent 1-
itemsets, they will generate 107 candidate 2-itemsets
even after employing the downward closure.
 To compute those with sup more than min sup, the
database need to be scanned at every level. It needs (n +1
) scans, where n is the length of the longest pattern.
METHODS TO IMPROVE APRIORI’S
EFFICIENCY
 Hash-based itemset counting: A k-itemset whose corresponding hashing
bucket count is below the threshold cannot be frequent
 Transaction reduction: A transaction that does not contain any frequent k-
itemset is useless in subsequent scans
 Partitioning: Any itemset that is potentially frequent in DB must be frequent
in at least one of the partitions of DB.
 Sampling: mining on a subset of given data, lower support threshold + a
method to determine the completeness
 Dynamic itemset counting: add new candidate itemsets only when all of their
subsets are estimated to be frequent
APRIORI ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES
 Advantages
• Uses large itemset property
• Easily parallelized
• Easy to implement
 Disadvantages
• Assumes transaction database is memory resident.
• Requires many database scans
