What Does Apriori Algorithm Mean?
The Apriori algorithm is an algorithm that attempts to operate on database records, particularly transactional records, or records including certain numbers of fields or items. It is one of a number of algorithms using a “bottom-up approach” to incrementally contrast complex records, and it is useful in today’s complex machine learning and artificial intelligence projects.
Techopedia Explains Apriori Algorithm
Essentially, the Apriori algorithm takes each part of a larger data set and “scores” it or contrasts it with other sets in some ordered way. The resulting scores are used to generate sets that are classed as frequent appearances in a larger database for aggregated data collection.
