Incremental association rules update algorithm based on the sort compression matrix

Association rule algorithm has always been a research hotspot in the field of data mining, in the context of today’s big data era, in order to efficiently obtain association rules and effectively update them, based on the original fast update pruning (FUP) algorithm, an association rule incremental update algorithm (FBSCM) based on sorting compression matrix is proposed to solve the shortcomings of frequent scanning of transaction datasets. Firstly, The algorithm maps the transaction dataset as a Boolean matrix, and changes the storage mode of the matrix(that is, adding two columns and a row vector); Secondly, the matrix is compressed many times during the generation of frequent k-itemset; After that, the items in the matrix are sorted incrementally according to the support degree of the itemset; Finally, the original string comparison operation is replaced by the vector product of each column of the matrix. Experimental results and analysis show that the FBSCM algorithm has higher temporal performance than the traditional FUP algorithm in different incremental dataset sizes, different minimum support thresholds and different feature datasets, especially when the incremental transaction volume is large or the minimum support degree is small.
