“…CD, FDM, FPM and DDM [5,6,8,9] parallelize Apriori [10], PDM [12] parallelizes DHP [11], D-Sampling [7] is a combination of serialsampling approach [22] and DDM algorithm, parallel FPgrowth [13] is a parallelized version of FP-growth [14], and so on.As mentioned before, many frequent itemsets mining algorithms, both sequential and distributed, are related to the Apriori algorithm [10]. The name of the algorithm is based on the fact that it uses prior knowledge of frequent itemsets properties.…”
