Apriori Algorithm

I've heard about the Apriori algorithm several times before but never got the time or the opportunity to dig into it, can anyone explain to me in a simple way the workings of this algorithm? Also, a basic example would make it a lot easier for me to understand. ...

Using the apriori algorithm for recommendations

So a recent question made me aware of the rather cool apriori algorithm. I can see why it works, but what I'm not sure about is practical uses. Presumably the main reason to compute related sets of items is to be able to provide recommendations for someone based on their own purchases (or owned items, etcetera). But how do you go from a ...

Minimum confidence and minimum support for Apriori

What are appropriate values for minimum confidence and minimum support values for the Apriori algorithm? How could you tweak them? Are they fixed values, or do they change during the running of the algorithm? If you have used this algorithm before, what values did you use? ...

Any method to optimize the algorithm of Apriori for Data Mining ?

I am mining some data. I want to save time. So any method? ...
