Market Basket Analysis

Outlier Detection

Intrusion Detection

What is not true about FP growth algorithms?

It mines frequent itemsets without candidate generation

There are chances that FP trees may not fit in the memory

FP trees are very expensive to build

It expands the original database to build FP trees

When do you consider an association rule interesting?

What will happen if support is reduced?

Number of frequent itemsets remains the same

Some itemsets will add to the current set of frequent itemsets

Some itemsets will become infrequent while others will become frequent

None of all above

What is association rule mining?

Same as frequent itemset mining

Using association to analyze correlation rules

Finding of strong association rules using frequent itemsets

Finding Itemsets for future trends

Apriori algorithm is one of the most commonly used algorithms for frequent pattern mining. It uses a “bottom-up” approach to identify frequent itemsets and then generates association rules from those itemsets.

True

False

In ECLAT algorithm, This algorithm uses a “depth-first search” approach to identify frequent itemsets. It is particularly efficient for datasets with a large number of items.

True

False

In ECLAT algorithm, this algorithm uses a “breadth-first search” approach to identify frequent itemsets. It is particularly efficient for datasets with a large number of items.

True

False

FP-growth algorithm, this algorithm uses a “compression” technique to find frequent patterns efficiently. It is particularly efficient for datasets with a large number of transactions

True

False

Frequent pattern mining has many applications, such as Social Network Analysis, Outlier Detection, Intrusion Detection

True

False

Subset function finds all the candidates contained in a transaction

True

False

Candidate itemsets are stored in a graph
