What is Apriori? |
Data mining is using an algorithm to analyze incredibly large sets of data. This analysis then provides useful information. Data mining algorithms must be very streamlined and efficient. If they are not, then they cannot analyze data fast enough t0 be useful.
|
Apriori is a type of data mining algorithm. It makes association rules by finding frequent items. Frequent items are simply items that occur frequently within the dataset. Association rules state whether two or more items often occur in combination within the dataset, implying that they are associated.

The role of Python
Python is one of the most commonly used programming languages. It is a high level programming language, which means that it has a lot of built in functions that do not need definition. This helps make the program much more user friendly. I chose Python because of this, and also because i have experience in similar programming languages. Python allowed me to create functions that did small parts within my algorithm. I could also call these functions multiple times without having to repeat code.
Project Description
In this project, I built my own algorithm from scratch. It used brute force methodologies, so it could not be applied to real datasets due to it's inefficiency. Instead, I tested it against itself to see how long it took to run with different parameters.
