What is apriori algorithm?
Apriori algorithm: An algorithm for finding frequently occurring item sets. It builds larger sets from smaller ones and prunes any candidate containing an infrequent subset, since every subset of a frequent set must itself be frequent.
Apriori algorithm: an example
If {milk, bread} is rare, {milk, bread, eggs} is skipped without counting.
