The Apriori algorithm

The most famous algorithm for association rule learning is Apriori. It was proposed by Agrawal and Srikant in 1994. The input of the algorithm is a dataset of transactions where each transaction is a set of items. The output is a collection of association rules for which support and confidence are greater than some specified threshold. The name comes from the Latin phrase a priori (literally, "from what is before") because of one smart observation behind the algorithm: if the item set is infrequent, then we can be sure in advance that all its subsets are also infrequent.

You can implement Apriori with the following steps:

  1. Count the support of all item sets of length 1, or calculate the frequency of every item in the ...
