| Data mining has been researched and applied widely in the near few years. Data mining of association rules which is highly demanded in the area of commerce decision-making is one of the most important and fundamental problems in this area. Because the step of finding the frequent itemsets is the bottle-neck of the data mining of association rules, most of the research attention is focused on efficient methods of finding frequent itemsets. In this thesis, the author gives a new memory-structure: Horizontal-Vertical-Link and a high efficient algorithm of frequent itemsets mining: Sorted-Horizontal-Vertical-Link Mine algorithm.Firstly, the thesis introduces the basic principle of data mining, association rules mining and frequent-itemsets mining.Secondly, the thesis analyses the strongpoint and shortcoming of the existed frequent-itemsets mining. Taking measures from memory-structure and mining means, the thesis puts forward Horizontal-Vertical-Link memory-structure and Sorted-Horizontal-Vertical-Link Mine algorithm. The improvement is achieved by scanning the database just once, reducing recursion count and building item horizontal-vertical link within transactions.Thirdly, basing on a lot of data, the thesis makes performance analysis between Sorted-Horizontal-Vertical-Link Mine algorithm and H-Mine algorithm. Then it analyses the advantages and disadvantages of Sorted-Horizontal-Vertica-Link Mine algorithm.At the last, the thesis brings forward the design idea of Sorted-Horizontal-Vertical-Link partitioning Mine algorithm and looks forward to the future. |
