Abstract

In this paper, we propose OP-TKC (Order Preserving Top K Closed itemsets) algorithm for mining top-k frequent closed itemsets. Our methodology visits the closed itemsets lattice in breadth first manner and generates all the top-k closed itemsets without generating all the closed itemsets of a given dataset i.e. in the search space, only closed itemsets that belongs to top-k are expanded and all other closed itemsets are pruned off. Our algorithm computes all the top-k closed itemsets with O(D+ k) space complexity, where D is the dataset. Experiments involving publicly available datasets show that our algorithm takes less memory and running time than TFP algorithm.
