apriori算法是最基本的发现频繁项集的算法,它的名字也体现了它的思想——先验,采用逐层搜索迭代的方法,挖掘任何可能的项集,k项集用于挖掘k+1项集。

先验性质

频繁项集的所有非空子集也一定是频繁的

该性质体现了项集挖掘中的反单调性,如果k项集不是频繁的,那么k+1项集一定也不是。基于这一点,算法的基本思想为:

step 1:连接

候选的k项集,称为候选集。

    为了有效的实现连接,首先对每一项进行排序。其次,若满足连接的条件,则进行连接。

    连接的条件,前k-2项相同,k-1项不同

step 2:剪枝

    k项集的每一个k-1项子集都存在与k-1项集,并且支持度满足最小支持度阀值。

伪代码:

C<k>:candidata itemset of size k 
  
 L<k>:frequent itemset of size k 
  
 L<1>=frequent items 
  
  for(k=1;L<k>!=null;k++) 
  
     C<k+1>=candidates generated from L<k> 
  
     for transaction t in dataset 
  
         increment the count of all candidates in C<k+1> that are contained in t     L<k+1>=candidates in C<k+1> with support>=min_support 
  
 return

Java代码实现方式:


抽象了一个项集实体类,并实现是否可以合并的方法,这个方法最初是使用TreeSet.headSet来实现的,但是在测试时发现性能瓶颈都产生在这个方法上,并造成OOM,很是费解,待研究清楚后总结一下。

使用mushroom数据集,整个运行时间只有大概6s,性能还算满意。


这个代码只是计算了频繁项集,还没有计算关联规则和置信度,稍后补上。

=========补充了关联规则的生成======== 比想象的要麻烦一点

关联规则可以是双向的,confidence(A-->B)=P(A|B)=support(A&B)/support(A)

所以在计算k项集的关联规则时,其分母都是k项集的支持度,分子为k-1项集的支持度,以及对应1项集的支持度
