P-IOC-FPMine: an association rule mining algorithm for item constraints based on the MapReduce framework
Zenan Chu, Wei Wang · International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing · 2022
In the application of big data, one of the most challenging problems is how to consider the requirements of users. To avoid this problem, we proposed IOC-FP-growth. This added user-defined pre-term or post-item constraints into the classic FP-growth algorithm. What's more, a parallel data mining algorithm based on MapReduce, namely P-IOC-FPMine was proposed, which was a low-memory fast association rule mining algorithm. Finally, by evaluating the effectiveness of the method in the public data. The results showed that the IOC-FP-growth method can consider the user's needs for association rules easily. Compared with the FP-growth, Recorder and PNARCMC, we only need to meet the requirements of users to extract accurate rules, which will bring huge advantages for data mining. After parallelisation, the performance of the P-IOC-FPMine was better than FP-growth on the data set. The results showed that the P-IOC-FPMine was more appropriate for handling large-scale data sets.
