**About this algorithm**
:**Description**: Apriori is one of the fundamental algorithm to discover frequent patterns in a transactional database. This program employs apriori property (or downward closure property) to reduce the search space effectively. This algorithm employs breadth-first search technique to find the complete set of frequent patterns in a transactional database.
:**Reference**: Agrawal, R., Imieli ́nski, T., Swami, A.: Mining association rules between sets of items in large databases.
In: SIGMOD. pp. 207–216 (1993), https://doi.org/10.1145/170035.170072
:**Parameters**: - **iFile** (*str or URL or dataFrame*) -- *Name of the Input file to mine complete set of frequent patterns.*
- **oFile** (*str*) -- *Name of the output file to store complete set of frequent patterns.*
- **minSup** (*int or float or str*) -- *The user can specify minSup either in count or proportion of database size. If the program detects the data type of minSup is integer, then it treats minSup is expressed in count. Otherwise, it will be treated as float.*
- **sep** (*str*) -- *This variable is used to distinguish items from one another in a transaction. The default seperator is tab space. However, the users can override their default separator.*
:**Attributes**: - **startTime** (*float*) -- *To record the start time of the mining process.*
- **endTime** (*float*) -- *To record the completion time of the mining process.*
- **finalPatterns** (*dict*) -- *Storing the complete set of patterns in a dictionary variable.*
- **memoryUSS** (*float*) -- *To store the total amount of USS memory consumed by the program.*
- **memoryRSS** (*float*) -- *To store the total amount of RSS memory consumed by the program.*
- **Database** (*list*) -- *To store the transactions of a database in list.*
**Execution methods**
**Terminal command**
.. code-block:: console
Format:
(.venv) $ python3 Apriori.py <inputFile> <outputFile> <minSup>
Example Usage:
(.venv) $ python3 Apriori.py sampleDB.txt patterns.txt 10.0
.. note:: minSup can be specified in support count or a value between 0 and 1.
**Calling from a python program**
.. code-block:: python
import PAMI.frequentPattern.basic.Apriori as alg

minSup = 10 # can also be specified between 0 and 1
obj = alg.Apriori(iFile, minSup)
