title: Frequent Pattern Mining
displayTitle: Frequent Pattern Mining
---

Mining frequent items, itemsets, subsequences, or other substructures is usually among the
first steps to analyze a large-scale dataset, which has been an active research topic in
data mining for years.
We refer users to Wikipedia's [association rule learning](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_rule_learning)
for more information.

## FP-Growth

The FP-growth algorithm is described in the paper
[Han et al., Mining frequent patterns without candidate generation](http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/335191.335372),
where "FP" stands for frequent pattern.
Given a dataset of transactions, the first step of FP-growth is to calculate item frequencies and identify frequent items.
Different from [Apriori-like](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apriori_algorithm) algorithms designed for the same purpose,
the second step of FP-growth uses a suffix tree (FP-tree) structure to encode transactions without generating candidate sets
explicitly, which are usually expensive to generate.
After the second step, the frequent itemsets can be extracted from the FP-tree.
In `spark.mllib`, we implemented a parallel version of FP-growth called PFP,
as described in [Li et al., PFP: Parallel FP-growth for query recommendation](http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/1454008.1454027).
PFP distributes the work of growing FP-trees based on the suffixes of transactions,
and hence is more scalable than a single-machine implementation.
We refer users to the papers for more details.

`spark.ml`'s FP-growth implementation takes the following (hyper-)parameters:

* `minSupport`: the minimum support for an itemset to be identified as frequent.
For example, if an item appears 3 out of 5 transactions, it has a support of 3/5=0.6.
* `minConfidence`: minimum confidence for generating Association Rule. Confidence is an indication of how often an
association rule has been found to be true. For example, if in the transactions itemset `X` appears 4 times, `X`
and `Y` co-occur only 2 times, the confidence for the rule `X => Y` is then 2/4 = 0.5. The parameter will not
affect the mining for frequent itemsets, but specify the minimum confidence for generating association rules
from frequent itemsets.
* `numPartitions`: the number of partitions used to distribute the work. By default the param is not set, and
number of partitions of the input dataset is used.

The `FPGrowthModel` provides:

* `freqItemsets`: frequent itemsets in the format of DataFrame("items"[Array], "freq"[Long])
* `associationRules`: association rules generated with confidence above `minConfidence`, in the format of
DataFrame("antecedent"[Array], "consequent"[Array], "confidence"[Double]).
* `transform`: For each transaction in `itemsCol`, the `transform` method will compare its items against the antecedents
of each association rule. If the record contains all the antecedents of a specific association rule, the rule
will be considered as applicable and its consequents will be added to the prediction result. The transform
method will summarize the consequents from all the applicable rules as prediction. The prediction column has
the same data type as `itemsCol` and does not contain existing items in the `itemsCol`.
