In this paper, we propose a parallel algorithm for mining maximal frequent itemsets from databases. A frequent itemset is maximal if none of its supersets is frequent. The new par...
: For a transaction database, a frequent itemset is an itemset included in at least a specified number of transactions. A frequent itemset P is maximal if P is included in no other...
Computing frequent itemsets and maximally frequent itemsets in a database are classic problems in data mining. The resource requirements of all extant algorithms for both problems...

We present a performance study of the MAFIA algorithm for mining maximal frequent itemsets from a transactional database. In a thorough experimental analysis, we isolate the effec...
