What Is Frequent Pattern Analysis?
Frequent pattern: a pattern (a set of items, subsequences, substructures,
etc.) that occurs frequently in a data set
First proposed by Agrawal, Imielinski, and Swami [AIS93] in the context of
frequent itemsets and association rule mining
Motivation: Finding inherent regularities in data
What products were often purchased together?— Beer and diapers?!
What are the subsequent purchases after buying a PC?
What kinds of DNA are sensitive to this new drug?
Can we automatically classify web documents?
Applications
Basket data analysis, cross-marketing, catalog design, sale campaign
analysis, Web log (click stream) analysis, and DNA sequence analysis.

Why Is Freq. Pattern Mining Important?
Discloses an intrinsic and important property of data sets Forms the foundation for many essential data mining tasks
Association, correlation, and causality analysis Sequential, structural (e.g., sub-graph) patterns Pattern analysis in spatiotemporal, multimedia, time-
series, and stream data Classification: associative classification Cluster analysis: frequent pattern-based clustering Data warehousing: iceberg cube and cube-gradient Semantic data compression: fascicles Broad applications

Basic Concepts: Frequent Patterns and Association Rules
Itemset X = {x1, …, xk}
Find all the rules X Y with minimum support and confidence support, s, probability that a
transaction contains X Y confidence, c, conditional
probability that a transaction having X also contains Y
Let supmin = 50%, confmin = 50%
Freq. Pat.: {A:3, B:3, D:4, E:3, AD:3}Association rules:
A D (60%, 100%)D A (60%, 75%)

Closed Patterns and Max-Patterns
A long pattern contains a combinatorial number of sub-patterns, e.g., {a1, …, a100} contains (100
1) + (1002) + … +
(11
00
00) = 2100 – 1 = 1.27*1030 sub-patterns!
Solution: Mine closed patterns and max-patterns instead An itemset X is closed if X is frequent and there exists no
super-pattern Y כ X, with the same support as X (proposed by Pasquier, et al. @ ICDT’99)
An itemset X is a max-pattern if X is frequent and there exists no frequent super-pattern Y כ X (proposed by Bayardo @ SIGMOD’98)
Closed pattern is a lossless compression of freq. patterns Reducing the # of patterns and rules

What Is Association Mining?
Association rule mining: Finding frequent patterns, associations, correlations,
or causal structures among sets of items or objects in transaction databases, relational databases, and other information repositories.
Applications: Basket data analysis, cross-marketing, catalog
design, loss-leader analysis, clustering, classification, etc.
Examples. Rule form: “Body ead [support, confidence]”. buys(x, “diapers”) buys(x, “lotion”) [0.5%, 60%] major(x, “CS”) ^ takes(x, “DB”) grade(x, “A”)
[1%, 75%]

Association Rule: Basic Concepts
Given: (1) database of transactions, (2) each transaction is a list of items (purchased by a customer in a visit)
Find: all rules that correlate the presence of one set of items with that of another set of items E.g., 98% of people who purchase tires and auto
accessories also get automotive services done Applications
* Maintenance Agreement (What the store should do to boost Maintenance Agreement sales)
Home Electronics * (What other products should the store stocks up?)
Attached mailing in direct marketing Detecting “ping-pong”ing of patients, faulty “collisions”

Association Rule Mining: A Road Map
Boolean vs. quantitative associations (Based on the types of values handled)
buys(x, “SQLServer”) ^ buys(x, “DMBook”) buys(x, “DBMiner”) [0.2%, 60%]
age(x, “30..39”) ^ income(x, “42..48K”) buys(x, “PC”) [1%, 75%]
Single dimension vs. multiple dimensional associations (see ex. Above) Single level vs. multiple-level analysis
What brands of lotions are associated with what brands of diapers? Various extensions
Correlation, causality analysis Association does not necessarily imply correlation or causality
Maxpatterns and closed itemsets Constraints enforced
E.g., small sales (sum < 100) trigger big buys (sum > 1,000)?

CS 536 - Data Mining (Au 2006-07) - Asim Karim @ LUMS 13
Mining Frequent Itemsets: the Key Step
Find the frequent itemsets: the sets of items that have minimum support A subset of a frequent itemset must also be a
frequent itemset i.e., if {AB} is a frequent itemset, both {A} and
{B} should be a frequent itemset
Iteratively find frequent itemsets with cardinality from 1 to k (k-itemset)
Use the frequent itemsets to generate association rules.

The Apriori Algorithm
Join Step: Ck is generated by joining Lk-1with 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 kLk : frequent itemset of size k
L1 = {frequent items};for (k = 1; Lk !=; 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 endreturn k Lk;

How to Generate Candidates?
Suppose the items in Lk-1 are listed in an order
Step 1: self-joining Lk-1
insert into Ck
select p.item1 , p.item2 ,…, p.itemk-2 , q.itemk-1
from Lk-1 = p, Lk-1 = q
where p.item1=q.item1 ,…, p.itemk-2=q.itemk-2 , p.itemk-1 <
q.itemk-1
Step 2: pruning
forall itemsets c in Ck do
forall (k-1)-subsets s of c do
if (s is not in Lk-1) then delete c from Ck

How to Count Supports of Candidates?
Why counting supports of candidates a problem? The total number of candidates can be very huge One transaction may contain many candidates
Method: Candidate itemsets are stored in a hash-tree Leaf node of hash-tree contains a list of itemsets
and counts Interior node contains a hash table Subset function: finds all the candidates
contained in a transaction

Example of Generating Candidates
L3={abc, abd, acd, ace, bcd}
Self-joining: L3*L3
abcd from abc and abd
acde from acd and ace
Pruning:

Is Apriori Fast Enough? — Performance Bottlenecks
The core of the Apriori algorithm: Use frequent (k – 1)-itemsets to generate candidate
frequent k-itemsets Use database scan and pattern matching to collect counts
for the candidate itemsets The bottleneck of Apriori: candidate generation
Huge candidate sets: 104 frequent 1-itemset will generate 107 candidate 2-
itemsets To discover a frequent pattern of size 100, e.g., {a1, a2,
…, a100}, one needs to generate 2100 1030 candidates. Multiple scans of database:
Needs n or (n +1 ) scans, n is the length of the longest pattern

Benefits of the FP-tree Structure
Completeness: never breaks a long pattern of any transaction preserves complete information for frequent
pattern mining Compactness
reduce irrelevant information—infrequent items are gone
frequency descending ordering: more frequent items are more likely to be shared
never be larger than the original database (if not count node-links and counts)
Example: For Connect-4 DB, compression ratio could be over 100

Mining Frequent Patterns Using FP-tree
General idea (divide-and-conquer) Recursively grow frequent pattern path using
the FP-tree Method
For each item, construct its conditional pattern-base, and then its conditional FP-tree
Repeat the process on each newly created conditional FP-tree
Until the resulting FP-tree is empty, or it contains only one path (single path will generate all the combinations of its sub-paths, each of which is a frequent pattern)

Major Steps to Mine FP-tree
1) Construct conditional pattern base for each node in the FP-tree
2) Construct conditional FP-tree from each conditional pattern-base
3) Recursively mine conditional FP-trees and grow frequent patterns obtained so far
If the conditional FP-tree contains a single path, simply enumerate all the patterns

Properties of FP-tree for Conditional Pattern Base Construction
Node-link property
For any frequent item ai, all the possible frequent
patterns that contain ai can be obtained by
following ai's node-links, starting from ai's head
in the FP-tree header Prefix path property
To calculate the frequent patterns for a node ai
in a path P, only the prefix sub-path of ai in P
need to be accumulated, and its frequency count
should carry the same count as node ai.

Principles of Frequent Pattern Growth
Pattern growth property Let be a frequent itemset in DB, B be 's
conditional pattern base, and be an itemset in B. Then is a frequent itemset in DB iff is frequent in B.
“abcdef ” is a frequent pattern, if and only if “abcde ” is a frequent pattern, and “f ” is frequent in the set of transactions
containing “abcde ”

Why Is Frequent Pattern Growth Fast?
Our performance study shows
FP-growth is an order of magnitude faster than
Apriori, and is also faster than tree-projection
Reasoning
No candidate generation, no candidate test
Use compact data structure
Eliminate repeated database scan
Basic operation is counting and FP-tree building

expected to have lower support.
Rules regarding itemsets at

Multi-level Association: Uniform Support vs. Reduced Support
Uniform Support: the same minimum support for all levels + One minimum support threshold. No need to examine
itemsets containing any item whose ancestors do not have minimum support.
– Lower level items do not occur as frequently. If support threshold
too high miss low level associations too low generate too many high level associations
Reduced Support: reduced minimum support at lower levels There are 4 search strategies:
Level-by-level independent Level-cross filtering by k-itemset Level-cross filtering by single item Controlled level-cross filtering by single item

Some rules may be redundant due to “ancestor” relationships between items.
Example milk wheat bread [support = 8%, confidence =
70%] 2% milk wheat bread [support = 2%, confidence =
72%] We say the first rule is an ancestor of the second
rule. A rule is redundant if its support is close to the
“expected” value, based on the rule’s ancestor.

itemsets: 2% milk (5%), wheat bread (4%) Different min_support threshold across multi-
levels lead to different algorithms: If adopting the same min_support across multi-

Progressive Refinement of Data Mining Quality
Why progressive refinement? Mining operator can be expensive or cheap, fine or
rough Trade speed with quality: step-by-step refinement.
Superset coverage property: Preserve all the positive answers—allow a positive
false test but not a false negative test. Two- or multi-step mining:
First apply rough/cheap operator (superset coverage)
Then apply expensive algorithm on a substantially reduced candidate set (Koperski & Han, SSD’95).

Search for frequent k-predicate set: Example: {age, occupation, buys} is a 3-predicate
set. Techniques can be categorized by how age are
treated.1. Using static discretization of quantitative attributes
Quantitative attributes are statically discretized by using predefined concept hierarchies.
2. Quantitative association rules Quantitative attributes are dynamically discretized
into “bins”based on the distribution of the data.3. Distance-based association rules
This is a dynamic discretization process that considers the distance between data points.

Static Discretization of Quantitative Attributes
Discretized prior to mining using concept hierarchy. Numeric values are replaced by ranges. In relational database, finding all frequent k-
predicate sets will require k or k+1 table scans. Data cube is well suited for mining. The cells of an n-dimensional
cuboid correspond to the
predicate sets. Mining from data cubes
can be much faster.

Interestingness Measurements
Objective measuresTwo popular measurements: support; and confidence
Subjective measures (Silberschatz & Tuzhilin, KDD95)A rule (pattern) is interesting if it is unexpected (surprising to the user);
and/or actionable (the user can do something with
it)

Criticism to Support and Confidence
Example 1: (Aggarwal & Yu, PODS98) Among 5000 students
3000 play basketball 3750 eat cereal 2000 both play basket ball and eat cereal
play basketball eat cereal [40%, 66.7%] is misleading because the overall percentage of students eating cereal is 75% which is higher than 66.7%.
play basketball not eat cereal [20%, 33.3%] is far more accurate, although with lower support and confidence

Constraint-Based Mining
Interactive, exploratory mining giga-bytes of data? Could it be real? — Making good use of
constraints! What kinds of constraints can be used in mining?
Knowledge type constraint: classification, association, etc.
Data constraint: SQL-like queries Find product pairs sold together in Vancouver in Dec.’98.
Dimension/level constraints: in relevance to region, price, brand, customer category.
Rule constraints small sales (price < $10) triggers big sales (sum > $200).
Interestingness constraints: strong rules (min_support 3%, min_confidence 60%).

Rule Constraints in Association Mining
Two kind of rule constraints: Rule form constraints: meta-rule guided mining.
P(x, y) ^ Q(x, w) takes(x, “database systems”). Rule (content) constraint: constraint-based query
optimization (Ng, et al., SIGMOD’98). sum(LHS) < 100 ^ min(LHS) > 20 ^ count(LHS) > 3 ^
sum(RHS) > 1000
1-variable vs. 2-variable constraints (Lakshmanan, et al. SIGMOD’99): 1-var: A constraint confining only one side (L/R)
of the rule, e.g., as shown above. 2-var: A constraint confining both sides (L and R).
sum(LHS) < min(RHS) ^ max(RHS) < 5* sum(LHS)

Constrain-Based Association Query
Database: (1) trans (TID, Itemset ), (2) itemInfo (Item, Type, Price) A constrained asso. query (CAQ) is in the form of {(S1, S2 )|C },
where C is a set of constraints on S1, S2 including frequency constraint
A classification of (single-variable) constraints: Class constraint: S A. e.g. S Item Domain constraint:
S v, { , , , , , }. e.g. S.Price < 100 v S, is or . e.g. snacks S.Type V S, or S V, { , , , , }
e.g. {snacks, sodas } S.Type Aggregation constraint: agg(S) v, where agg is in
{min, max, sum, count, avg}, and { , , , , , }.
e.g. count(S1.Type) 1 , avg(S2.Price) 100

Constrained Association Query Optimization Problem
Given a CAQ = { (S1, S2) | C }, the algorithm should be : sound: It only finds frequent sets that satisfy
the given constraints C complete: All frequent sets satisfy the given
constraints C are found A naïve solution:
Apply Apriori for finding all frequent sets, and then to test them for constraint satisfaction one by one.
Better approach: Comprehensive analysis of the properties of
constraints and try to push them as deeply as possible inside the frequent set computation.

Succinctness Succinctness:
Given A1, the set of items satisfying a succinctness
constraint C, then any set S satisfying C is based
on A1 , i.e., S contains a subset belonging to A1
Idea: Without looking at the transaction database, whether an itemset S satisfies constraint C can be determined based on the selection of items
min(S.Price) v is succinct sum(S.Price) v is not succinct
Optimization: If C is succinct, C is pre-counting pushable
