ECLATDiffset

class PAMI.frequentPattern.basic.ECLATDiffset.ECLATDiffset(iFile, minSup, sep='\t')

Bases: _frequentPatterns

Description:

ECLATDiffset uses diffset to extract the frequent patterns in a transactional database.

Reference:

KDD ‘03: Proceedings of the ninth ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining August 2003 Pages 326–335 https://doi.org/10.1145/956750.956788

Parameters:

• iFile – str : Name of the Input file to mine complete set of frequent pattern’s

• oFile – str : Name of the output file to store complete set of frequent patterns

• minSup – int or float or str : The user can specify minSup either in count or proportion of database size. If the program detects the data type of minSup is integer, then it treats minSup is expressed in count.

• sep – str : This variable is used to distinguish items from one another in a transaction. The default seperator is tab space. However, the users can override their default separator.

Attributes:

startTimefloat

To record the start time of the mining process

endTimefloat

To record the completion time of the mining process

finalPatternsdict

Storing the complete set of patterns in a dictionary variable

memoryUSSfloat

To store the total amount of USS memory consumed by the program

memoryRSSfloat

To store the total amount of RSS memory consumed by the program

Databaselist

To store the transactions of a database in list

Methods to execute code on terminal

Format:

(.venv) $ python3 ECLATDiffset.py <inputFile> <outputFile> <minSup>

Example Usage:

(.venv) $ python3 ECLATDiffset.py sampleDB.txt patterns.txt 10.0

Note

minSup will be considered in percentage of database transactions

Importing this algorithm into a python program

import PAMI.frequentPattern.basic.ECLATDiffset as alg

obj = alg.ECLATDiffset(iFile, minSup)

obj.mine()

frequentPatterns = obj.getPatterns()

print("Total number of Frequent Patterns:", len(frequentPatterns))

obj.savePatterns(oFile)

Df = obj.getPatternInDataFrame()

memUSS = obj.getMemoryUSS()

print("Total Memory in USS:", memUSS)

memRSS = obj.getMemoryRSS()

print("Total Memory in RSS", memRSS)

run = obj.getRuntime()

print("Total ExecutionTime in seconds:", run)

The complete program was written by Kundai under the supervision of Professor Rage Uday Kiran.
