Question

Consider the following frequent 3-itemsets: {a, b, c}, {b, c, d}, {a, b, d}, {a, c,...

Consider the following frequent 3-itemsets: {a, b, c}, {b, c, d}, {a, b, d}, {a, c, d}, {a, d, e}, {a, c, e}
Use the Fk−1 x F1 method and the Fk−1 x Fk−1 method to answer each part.

a. List all the 4-itemsets that will be generated by Fk−1 x F1 candidate generation method and the 4-itemsets that will be selected after the pruning step of the Apriori algorithm.

b. List all the 4-itemsets that will be generated by Fk−1 x Fk−1 candidate generation method and the 4-itemsets that will be selected after the pruning step of the Apriori algorithm.

c. Consider a new candidate generation method in which a pair of frequent (k-1)-itemsets are merged only if the last (k-2) items of the first one are identical to the first (k-2) items of the second one. For example, {x,y,z} and {y,z,w} can be merged to generated {x,y,z,w}. List all the 4-itemsets that will be generated by this method and the 4-itemsets that will be selected after the pruning step of the Apriori algorithm.

d. How do the two sets of results (i.e., the candidates generated from candidate generation step and the itemsets after the pruning step) you obtained from part (b) related to the results you obtained from part (c).
