Apriori算法例子

1 Apriori介绍

Apriori算法使用频繁项集的先验知识,使用一种称作逐层搜索的迭代方法,k项集用于探索(k+1)项集。首先,通过扫描事务(交易)记录,找出所有的频繁1项集,该集合记做L1,然后利用L1找频繁2项集的集合L2L2L3,如此下去,直到不能再找到任何频繁k项集。最后再在所有的频繁集中找出强规则,即产生用户感兴趣的关联规则。

其中,Apriori算法具有这样一条性质:任一频繁项集的所有非空子集也必须是频繁的。因为假如P(I)< 最小支持度阈值,当有元素A添加到I中时,结果项集(A∩I)不可能比I出现次数更多。因此A∩I也不是频繁的。

2   连接步和剪枝步

在上述的关联规则挖掘过程的两个步骤中,第一步往往是总体性能的瓶颈。Apriori算法采用连接步和剪枝步两种方式来找出所有的频繁项集。

1)  连接步

为找出Lk(所有的频繁k项集的集合),通过将Lk-1(所有的频繁k-1项集的集合)与自身连接产生候选k项集的集合。候选集合记作Ck。设l1l2Lk-1中的成员。记li[j]表示li中的第j项。假设Apriori算法对事务或项集中的项按字典次序排序,即对于(k-1)项集lili[1]<li[2]<……….<li[k-1]。将Lk-1与自身连接,如果(l1[1]=l2[1])&&( l1[2]=l2[2])&&……..&& (l1[k-2]=l2[k-2])&&(l1[k-1]<l2[k-1]),那认为l1l2是可连接。连接l1l2 产生的结果是{l1[1],l1[2],……,l1[k-1],l2[k-1]}。

2)  剪枝步

CKLK的超集,也就是说,CK的成员可能是也可能不是频繁的。通过扫描所有的事务(交易),确定CK中每个候选的计数,判断是否小于最小支持度计数,如果不是,则认为该候选是频繁的。为了压缩Ck,可以利用Apriori性质:任一频繁项集的所有非空子集也必须是频繁的,反之,如果某个候选的非空子集不是频繁的,那么该候选肯定不是频繁的,从而可以将其从CK中删除。

Tip:为什么要压缩CK呢?因为实际情况下事务记录往往是保存在外存储上,比如数据库或者其他格式的文件上,在每次计算候选计数时都需要将候选与所有事务进行比对,众所周知,访问外存的效率往往都比较低,因此Apriori加入了所谓的剪枝步,事先对候选集进行过滤,以减少访问外存的次数。)

上图为某商场的交易记录,共有9个事务,利用Apriori算法寻找所有的频繁项集的过程如下:

详细介绍下候选3项集的集合C3的产生过程:从连接步,首先C3={{I1,I2,I3},{I1,I2,I5},{I1,I3,I5},{I2,I3,I4},{I2,I3,I5},{I2,I4,I5}}(C3是由L2与自身连接产生)。根据Apriori性质,频繁项集的所有子集也必须频繁的,可以确定有4个候选集{I1,I3,I5},{I2,I3,I4},{I2,I3,I5},{I2,I4,I5}}不可能时频繁的,因为它们存在子集不属于频繁集,因此将它们从C3中删除。注意,由于Apriori算法使用逐层搜索技术,给定候选k项集后,只需检查它们的(k-1)个子集是否频繁。

3. Apriori伪代码

算法:Apriori

输入:D - 事务数据库;min_sup - 最小支持度计数阈值

输出:L - D中的频繁项集

方法:

     L1=find_frequent_1-itemsets(D); // 找出所有频繁1项集

     For(k=2;Lk-1!=null;k++){

        Ck=apriori_gen(Lk-1); // 产生候选,并剪枝

        For each 事务t in D{ // 扫描D进行候选计数

            Ct =subset(Ck,t); // 得到t的子集

            For each 候选c 属于 Ct

                         c.count++;

        }

        Lk={c属于Ck | c.count>=min_sup}

}

Return L=所有的频繁集;

 

Procedure apriori_gen(Lk-1:frequent(k-1)-itemsets)

      For each项集l1属于Lk-1

              For each项集 l2属于Lk-1

                       If((l1[1]=l2[1])&&( l1[2]=l2[2])&&……..

&& (l1[k-2]=l2[k-2])&&(l1[k-1]<l2[k-1])) then{

                   c=l1连接l2 //连接步:产生候选

                   if has_infrequent_subset(c,Lk-1) then

                       delete c; //剪枝步:删除非频繁候选

                   else add c to Ck;

                  }

          Return Ck;

 

     Procedure has_infrequent_sub(c:candidate k-itemset; Lk-1:frequent(k-1)-itemsets)

        For each(k-1)-subset s of c

            If s不属于Lk-1 then

               Return true;

        Return false;

 

 

 

4. 由频繁项集产生关联规则

Confidence(A->B)=P(B|A)=support_count(AB)/support_count(A)

关联规则产生步骤如下:

1)  对于每个频繁项集l,产生其所有非空真子集;

2)  对于每个非空真子集s,如果support_count(l)/support_count(s)>=min_conf,则输出 s->(l-s),其中,min_conf是最小置信度阈值。

例如,在上述例子中,针对频繁集{I1,I2,I5}。可以产生哪些关联规则?该频繁集的非空真子集有{I1,I2},{I1,I5},{I2,I5},{I1 },{I2}和{I5},对应置信度如下:

I1&&I2->I5            confidence=2/4=50%

I1&&I5->I2            confidence=2/2=100%

I2&&I5->I1            confidence=2/2=100%

I1 ->I2&&I5            confidence=2/6=33%

I2 ->I1&&I5            confidence=2/7=29%

I5 ->I1&&I2            confidence=2/2=100%

如果min_conf=70%,则强规则有I1&&I5->I2,I2&&I5->I1,I5 ->I1&&I2。
