Abstract

Since the introduction of FP-growth using FP-tree there has been a lot of research into extending its usage to data stream or incremental mining. Most incremental mining adapts the Apriori algorithm. However, we believe that using a tree based approach would increase performance as compared to the candidate generation and testing mechanism used in Apriori. Despite this FP-tree still requires two scans through a dataset. In this paper we present a novel tree structure called Single Pass Ordered Tree SPO-Tree that captures information with a single scan for incremental mining. All items in a transaction are inserted/sorted based on their frequency. The tree is reorganized dynamically when necessary. SPO-Tree allows for easy maintenance in an incremental or data stream environment.
