摘要: 提出了频繁项目集的快速增量式更新算法(FIUA),主要考虑最小支持度发生变化时频繁项目集的更新情况.FIUA在最坏的情况下仅需扫描数据库一遍,且无需生成候选项目集,有效地节约了存储空间,提高了频繁项目集的更新效率.

Abstract: Mining frequent itemsets is a major problem in the data mining field with numerous practical appilcations. Efficient incremental updating of discovered frequent itemsets is the key problem. The existing incremental updating algorithms employ the same framework as Apriori, which need to generate a lots of candidate sets and repeatedly scan the database, especially when there exist many patterns and/or long patterns. In this paper, we propose an incremental updating algorithm of frequent itemsets (FIUA) mainly for the updating of frequent itemsets as a time when the minimum support threshold adjusts dynamically. In worst case, FIUA only scans transaction database once and need not generate candidate sets, which saves effectively storage space. Therefore, FIUA is efficient and effective.

Key words: frequent pattern tree, data mining, frequent itemsets, incremental updating
