Discovery of Characteristic Patterns from Transactions with Their Classes

Table 10

A discovery method of characteristic patterns.

(1) Search transactions and calculate the number of transactions for each class.
(2) Set to an item set and set all classes to its pattern class.
(3) Generate a refined FP tree based on the algorithm shown in Table 6.
(4) If is not generated, then this algorithm stops. Otherwise, it discovers characteristic patterns from and based on the algorithm shown in Table 9.
