PFPMC

class PAMI.periodicFrequentPattern.basic.PFPMC.PFPMC(iFile, minSup, maxPer, sep='\t')[source]

Bases: _periodicFrequentPatterns

Description:

PFPMC is the fundamental approach to mine the periodic-frequent patterns.

Reference:

(has to be added)

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

  • oFile – str : Name of the output file to store complete set of periodic frequent pattern’s

  • minSup – str: Controls the minimum number of transactions in which every item must appear in a database.

  • maxPer – str: Controls the maximum number of transactions in which any two items within a pattern can reappear.

  • 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:
iFilefile

Name of the Input file or path of the input file

oFilefile

Name of the output file or path of the output file

minSupint 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. Otherwise, it will be treated as float. Example: minSup=10 will be treated as integer, while minSup=10.0 will be treated as float

maxPerint or float or str

The user can specify maxPer either in count or proportion of database size. If the program detects the data type of maxPer is integer, then it treats maxPer is expressed in count. Otherwise, it will be treated as float. Example: maxPer=10 will be treated as integer, while maxPer=10.0 will be treated as float

sepstr

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

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

startTime:float

To record the start time of the mining process

endTime:float

To record the completion time of the mining process

Databaselist

To store the transactions of a database in list

mapSupportDictionary

To maintain the information of item and their frequency

lnoint

it represents the total no of transactions

treeclass

it represents the Tree class

itemSetCountint

it represents the total no of patterns

finalPatternsdict

it represents to store the patterns

tidListdict

stores the timestamps of an item

hashingdict

stores the patterns with their support to check for the closed property

Methods:
mine()

Mining process will start from here

getPatterns()

Complete set of patterns will be retrieved with this function

save(oFile)

Complete set of periodic-frequent patterns will be loaded in to an output file

getPatternsAsDataFrame()

Complete set of periodic-frequent patterns will be loaded in to a dataframe

getMemoryUSS()

Total amount of USS memory consumed by the mining process will be retrieved from this function

getMemoryRSS()

Total amount of RSS memory consumed by the mining process will be retrieved from this function

getRuntime()

Total amount of runtime taken by the mining process will be retrieved from this function

creatingOneItemSets()

Scan the database and store the items with their timestamps which are periodic frequent

getPeriodAndSupport()

Calculates the support and period for a list of timestamps.

Generation()

Used to implement prefix class equivalence method to generate the periodic patterns recursively

Methods to execute code on terminal

Format:

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

Example usage:

(.venv) $ python3 PFPMC.py sampleDB.txt patterns.txt 10.0 4.0


        .. note:: minSup and maxPer will be considered in percentage of database transactions

Importing this algorithm into a python program

from PAMI.periodicFrequentPattern.basic import PFPMC as alg

obj = alg.PFPMC("../basic/sampleTDB.txt", "2", "5")

obj.startMine()

periodicFrequentPatterns = obj.getPatterns()

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

obj.save("patterns")

Df = obj.getPatternsAsDataFrame()

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)
