Towards better understanding of frequent itemset relationships through tree-like data structures

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose representation of frequent itemsets relationships as tree-like structures.

• We developed two algorithms for creating tree-like structures: top-down and bottom-up.

• Specific measures were defined to estimate the informative value of a structure.

• We developed a visualization tool with a high-level GUI in Python.

• Evaluation was performed successfully on a retail and a well-known benchmark classification dataset.
