13.3.4 - The Apriori Algorithm (Conceptual Steps)

Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the Apriori property?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how subsets relate to their parent set.

Question 2

Easy

Define Support in the context of the Apriori algorithm.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what percentage of your dataset needs to have this itemset for it to be considered frequent.

Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does the Apriori property state?

  • If an itemset is frequent
  • all subsets are frequent
  • An itemset must contain all items to be frequent
  • All supersets of an infrequent itemset are frequent

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how subsets relate to their parent set.

Question 2

True or False: Support is the proportion of transactions that contain the entire itemset.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what 'support' really implies in terms of transactions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using a dataset of at least 10 transactions, illustrate the Apriori algorithm by calculating the support, confidence, and lift for a small itemset. Present your findings.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Set up a transaction matrix and systematically work through calculating the support first.

Question 2

Discuss the trade-offs of using a low support threshold versus a high support threshold in the Apriori algorithm. What are the consequences on the number of rules generated?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the advantages and disadvantages of finding more data versus potential overfitting on less significant rules.
