我想了解的先验（篮）算法的基本原理进行数据挖掘，

I'm trying to understand the fundamentals of the Apriori (Basket) Algorithm for use in data mining,

它是最好的，我解释了并发症我遇到一个例子：

It's best I explain the complication i'm having with an example:

下面是事务性的数据集：

Here is a transactional dataset:

t1: Milk, Chicken, Beer
t2: Chicken, Cheese
t3: Cheese, Boots
t4: Cheese, Chicken, Beer
t5: Chicken, Beer, Clothes, Cheese, Milk
t6: Clothes, Beer, Milk
t7: Beer, Milk, Clothes

在最小支持度的上面是0.5或50％。

考虑从上面，我的交易数量显然是7 ，意为一个项集是频繁，它必须有 4/7 的一个数。因此，这是我的频繁项集1：

Taking from the above, my number of transactions is clearly 7, meaning for an itemset to be "frequent" it must have a count of 4/7. As such this was my Frequent itemset 1:

F1：

Milk = 4
Chicken = 4
Beer = 5
Cheese = 4

然后，我创造了我的候选人第二细化（C2）和它缩小：

I then created my candidates for the second refinement (C2) and narrowed it down to:

F2：

{Milk, Beer} = 4

这是我感到困惑，如果我被要求显示的所有的频繁项集我记下所有 F1的和 F2 或只是 F2 ？ F1 来我不是套。

This is where I get confused, if I am asked to display all frequent itemsets do I write down all of F1 and F2 or just F2? F1 to me aren't "sets".

我接着问到创建我刚才定义的频繁项集关联规则，并计算他们的信心的数字，我得到这样的：

I am then asked to create association rules for the frequent itemsets I have just defined and calculate their "confidence" figures, I get this:

Milk -> Beer = 100% confidence
Beer -> Milk = 80% confidence

这似乎是多余的放 F1 的项目集在这里，因为他们都将有100％的信心，无论而实际上并不准什么，这是我现在质疑 F1 是否确实经常？

It seems superfluous to put F1's itemsets in here as they will all have a confidence of 100% regardless and don't actually "associate" anything, which is the reason I am now questioning whether F1 are indeed "frequent"?

推荐答案

与1认为频繁的，如果他们的支持是合适的尺寸项目集。 但是在这里你必须考虑在最低门槛。就像如果您的最低门槛在你的例子是 2 和 F1 将不予考虑。但是，如果在最低门槛是 1 ，然后你不得不这样做。

Itemsets with size of 1 considered frequent if their support is suitable. But here you have to consider the minimal threshold. like if your minimal threshold in your example is 2 then F1 will not be considered. But if the minimal threshold is 1 then you have to.
