Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Node-Apriori

Apriori Algorithm implementation in TypeScript / JavaScript.

Getting Started

Performances

This implementation does not generate k-candidates as efficiently as it possibly could, as it adopts a brute-force approach: Every k-itemset is considered as a potential candidate, and an additional step is required to prune the unnecessary ones. More information about this question here.

The Apriori Algorithm is a great, easy-to-understand algorithm for frequent-itemset mining. However, faster and more memory efficient algorithms such as the FPGrowth Algorithm have been proposed since it was released.

If you need a more efficient frequent-itemset mining algorithm, consider checking out my implementation of the FPGrowth Algorithm.

Installing

This is a Node.js module available through the npm registry.

Installation is done using the npm install command:

$ npm install --save node-apriori

Example of use


import { Apriori, Itemset, IAprioriResults } from 'node-apriori';

let transactions: number[][] = [
    [1,3,4],
    [2,3,5],
    [1,2,3,5],
    [2,5],
    [1,2,3,5]
];

// Execute Apriori with a minimum support of 40%. Algorithm is generic.
let apriori: Apriori<number> = new Apriori<number>(.4);

// Returns itemsets 'as soon as possible' through events.
apriori.on('data', (itemset: Itemset<number>) => {
    // Do something with the frequent itemset.
    let support: number = itemset.support;
    let items: number[] = itemset.items;
});

// Execute Apriori on a given set of transactions.
apriori.exec(transactions)
    .then( (result: IAprioriResults<number>) => {
        // Returns both the collection of frequent itemsets and execution time in millisecond.
        let frequentItemsets: Itemset<number>[] = result.itemsets;
        let executionTime: number = result.executionTime;
    });
