Discovering partial periodic-frequent patterns in a transactional database.
Abstract
Proposed a novel model to find partial periodic-frequent patterns in a database.Introduced a measure to find partial periodic-frequent patterns in a database.An efficient pruning technique has been proposed to reduce the computational cost.Described a pattern-growth algorithm to find all partial periodic-frequent patternsExperimental results show that our model is efficient. Time and frequency are two important dimensions to determine the interestingness of a pattern in a database. Periodic-frequent patterns are an important class of regularities that exist in a database with respect to these two dimensions. Current studies on periodic-frequent pattern mining have focused on discovering full periodic-frequent patterns, i.e., finding all frequent patterns that have exhibited complete cyclic repetitions in a database. However, partial periodic-frequent patterns are more common due to the imperfect nature of real-world. This paper proposes a flexible and generic model to find partial periodic-frequent patterns. A new interesting measure, periodic-ratio, has been introduced to determine the periodic interestingness of a frequent pattern by taking into account its proportion of cyclic repetitions in a database. The proposed patterns do not satisfy the anti-monotonic property. A novel pruning technique has been introduced to reduce the search space effectively. A pattern-growth algorithm to find all partial periodic-frequent patterns has also been presented in this paper. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model can discover useful information, and the algorithm is efficient.
