Class PrefixSpan

Object

org.apache.spark.mllib.fpm.PrefixSpan

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class PrefixSpan
extends Object
implements scala.Serializable

A parallel PrefixSpan algorithm to mine frequent sequential patterns. The PrefixSpan algorithm is described in J. Pei, et al., PrefixSpan: Mining Sequential Patterns Efficiently by Prefix-Projected Pattern Growth (see here).

param: minSupport the minimal support level of the sequential pattern, any pattern that appears more than (minSupport * size-of-the-dataset) times will be output param: maxPatternLength the maximal length of the sequential pattern, any pattern that appears less than maxPatternLength will be output param: maxLocalProjDBSize The maximum number of items (including delimiters used in the internal storage format) allowed in a projected database before local processing. If a projected database exceeds this size, another iteration of distributed prefix growth is run.

run

public <Item> PrefixSpanModel<Item> run(RDD<Object[]> data,
                               scala.reflect.ClassTag<Item> evidence$1)

Finds the complete set of frequent sequential patterns in the input sequences of itemsets.

Parameters:

data - sequences of itemsets.

evidence$1 - (undocumented)

Returns:

a PrefixSpanModel that contains the frequent patterns

run

public <Item,Itemset extends Iterable<Item>,Sequence extends Iterable<Itemset>> PrefixSpanModel<Item> run(JavaRDD<Sequence> data)

A Java-friendly version of run() that reads sequences from a JavaRDD and returns frequent sequences in a PrefixSpanModel.

Parameters:

data - ordered sequences of itemsets stored as Java Iterable of Iterables

Returns:

a PrefixSpanModel that contains the frequent sequential patterns
