Data mining is the discovery of interesting and hidden patterns from a large amount of collected data. Applications can be found in many organisations with large databases, for many different purposes such as customer relationships, marketing, planning, scientific discovery, and other data analysis. In this paper, the problem of mining N-most interesting itemsets is addressed. We make use of the techniques of COFI-tree in order to tackle the problem. In our experiments, we find that our proposed algorithm based on COFI-tree performs faster than the previous approach BOMO based on the FP-tree.
