A Survey on Techniques of Frequent Pattern Mining

In Functions of Data Mining, Frequent Pattern mining algorithms are challenging for real time applications like market basket analysis, sales analysis etc. However, frequent pattern mining is based on occurrences of any item set into the database or data repositories. A-priori and FP-Tree are the most basic algorithms for mining frequent patterns. There are other methods developed from these two methods to make the procedure efficient and to overcome the disadvantages of basic algorithms. The advantages of these methods can be visualized using some attributes like efficiency, space efficiency, lower database scan, simplicity etc. Also, Comparison of these methods with each other, the disadvantages can be extracted.
