New algorithm of mining frequent closed itemsets

A new algorithm based on an FC-tree （frequent closed pattern tree） and a max-FCIA （maximal frequent closed itemsets algorithm） is presented, which is used to mine the frequent closed itemsets for solving memory and time consuming problems. This algorithm maps the transaction database by using a Hash table,gets the support of all frequent itemsets through operating the Hash table and forms a lexicographic subset tree including the frequent itemsets.Efficient pruning methods are used to get the FC-tree including all the minimum frequent closed itemsets through processing the lexicographic subset tree.Finally,frequent closed itemsets are generated from minimum frequent closed itemsets.The experimental results show that the mapping transaction database is introduced in the algorithm to reduce time consumption and to improve the efficiency of the program.Furthermore,the effective pruning strategy restrains the number of candidates,which saves space.The results show that the algorithm is effective.

Mining Frequent Closed Itemsets in Large High Dimensional Data

Large high-dimensional data have posed great challenges to existing algorithms for frequent itemsets mining.To solve the problem,a hybrid method,consisting of a novel row enumeration algorithm and a column enumeration algorithm,is proposed.The intention of the hybrid method is to decompose the mining task into two subtasks and then choose appropriate algorithms to solve them respectively.The novel algorithm,i.e.,Inter-transaction is based on the characteristic that there are few common items between or among long transactions.In addition,an optimization technique is adopted to improve the performance of the intersection of bit-vectors.Experiments on synthetic data show that our method achieves high performance in large high-dimensional data.

CFSBC: Clustering in High-Dimensional Space Based on Closed Frequent Item Set

Clustering in high-dimensional space is an important domain in data mining. It is the process of discovering groups in a high-dimensional dataset, in such way, that the similarity between the elements of the same cluster is maximum and between different clusters is minimal. Many clustering algorithms are not applicable to high-dimensional space for its sparseness and decline properties. Dimensionality reduction is an effective method to solve this problem. The paper proposes a novel clustering algorithm CFSBC based on closed frequent itemsets derived from association rule mining, which can get the clustering attributes with high efficiency. The algorithm has several advantages. First, it deals effectively with the problem of dimensionality reduction. Second, it is applicable to different kinds of attributes. Third, it is suitable for very large data sets. Experiment shows that the proposed algorithm is effective and efficient.
