class PAMI.stablePeriodicFrequentPattern.basic.SPPEclat.SPPEclat(inputFile, minSup, maxPer, maxLa, sep='\t')[source]

Bases: _stablePeriodicFrequentPatterns

Description:

Stable periodic pattern mining aims to dicover all interesting patterns in a temporal database using three contraints minimum support, maximum period and maximum lability, that have support no less than the user-specified minimum support constraint and lability no greater than maximum lability.

Parameters:
  • iFile – str : Name of the Input file to mine complete set of stable periodic Frequent Pattern.

  • oFile – str : Name of the output file to store complete set of stable periodic Frequent Pattern.

  • minSup – float or int 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

  • itemSup – int or float : Frequency of an item

  • maxLa – float : minimum loss of a pattern

  • 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

maxLaint or float or str

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

Methods to execute code on terminal

Format:

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

Example usage:

(.venv) $ python3 basic.py sampleDB.txt patterns.txt 10.0 4.0 2.0


        .. note:: constraints will be considered in percentage of database transactions
