Algorithm flow

  1. Find Frequent itemset using min support threshold (selects only frequently occurring patterns)
  1. Generate subsets based on Apriori Property
  1. Create Association rule with min confidence (maintains only highly reliable rules)

Support

The ratio at which an itemset appears in all transactions
  • Min support: minimum occurrence ratio that defines frequent itemsets

Confidence

The conditional probability that B occurs when A occurs
  • Min confidence: minimum confidence level for generating association rules

Lift

How much the probability of B occurring increases compared to the overall average when A occurs=

Apriori property

Frequent Itemset’s subset is all Frequent Itemset
