A Weighted Frequent Item-Set Mining using WD-FIM Algorithm

Abstract

Smart systems are the one of the most significant inventions of our times. These systems rely on powerful information mining techniques to achieve intelligence in decision making. Frequent item set mining (FIM), has become one of the most significant research area of data mining. The information present in databases is in-general ambiguous and uncertain. In such databases, one should think of weighted FIM to discover item sets which are significant from end user’s perspective. Be that as it may, with introduction of weight-factor for FIM makes the weighted continuous item sets may not fulfil the descending conclusion property anymore. Subsequently, the pursuit space of successive item set can't be limited by descending conclusion property which prompts a poor time effectiveness. In this paper, we introduce two properties for FIM, first one is, weight judgment downward closure property (WD-FIM), it is for weighted FIM and the second one is existence property for its subsets. In view of above two properties, the WD-FIM calculation is proposed to limit the looking through space of the weighted regular item sets and improve the time effectiveness. In addition, the culmination and time productivity of WD-FIM calculation are examined hypothetically. At last, the exhibition of the proposed WD-FIM calculation is confirmed on both engineered and genuine data sets.
