  1. Market Basket Analysis By Sowjanya Alaparthi

  2. Topics to be discussed • Introduction to Market basket analysis • Apriori Algorithm • Demo-1 ( Using self created table) • Demo-2 ( Using Oracle sample schema) • Demo-3 ( Using OLAP analytic workspace)

  3. Introduction to Market Basket Analysis • Def: Market Basket Analysis (Association Analysis) is a mathematical modeling technique based upon the theory that if you buy a certain group of items, you are likely to buy another group of items. • It is used to analyze the customer purchasing behavior and helps in increasing the sales and maintain inventory by focusing on the point of sale transaction data. • Given a dataset, the Apriori Algorithm trains and identifies product baskets and product association rules

  4. Definitions and Terminology • Transaction is a set of items (Itemset). • Confidence : It is the measure of uncertainty or trust worthiness associated with each discovered pattern. • Support : It is the measure of how often the collection of items in an association occur together as percentage of all transactions • Frequent itemset : If an itemset satisfies minimum support,then it is a frequent itemset. • Strong Association rules: Rules that satisfy both a minimum support threshold and a minimum confidence threshold • In Association rule mining, we first find all frequent itemsets and then generate strong association rules from the frequent itemsets

  5. Definitions and Terminology- Continued • Apriori algorithm is the most established algorithm for finding frequent item sets mining. • The basic principle of Apriori is “Any subset of a frequent itemset must be frequent”. • We use these frequent itemsets to generate association rules.

  6. Apriori Algorithm Ck: Candidate itemset of size k Lk: Frequent itemset of size k L1={frequent items}; For (k=1; Lk!=0; k++) do begin Ck+1= Candidates generated from Lk; For each transaction t in the database do Increment the count of all candidates in Ck+1 that are contained in t Lk+1=candidates in Ck+1 with min_support End Return UkLk;

  7. Pictorial representation of Apriori algorithm

  8. Demo-1 Installations Oracle 10g enterprise edition SQL Plus Oracle Data Miner Client

  9. Demo 1 - Data Preparation • Download the sample data, which is in excel sheet. • write macro to convert data in excel sheet to insert queries • Create a table and execute these insert queries in SQLplus • As we are connected to Oracle server, this table is then found in Oracle database

  10. Demo-1 Connections Connect Oracle Data Miner Client to Oracle Database • Make sure the oracle listener is listening • Database instance ‘ora478’ is started. • The port used is 1521 • Give the hostname as oracle.itk.ilstu.edu

  11. Demo-1 • Perform the activity, after installations and connections are made.

  12. Demo-2 ( using oracle sample schema) • Download Oracle 10g on your system and install it • Select the sample schema option during the custom installation • Launch Oracle Data Miner Client • In order to use this sample scheme for our activity, we should have the system administrator privileges. • The username is SH and password is password

  13. Demo -2 • Administrator should perform some grants in sqlplusw to build this activity. They are alter user sh account unlock; alter user sh identified by password; grant create table to sh; grant create sequence to sh; grant create session to sh; grant create view to sh; grant create procedure to sh; grant create job to sh; grant create type to sh; grant create synonym to sh; grant execute on ctxsys.ctx_ddl to sh;

  14. Demo-2 The points to be noted before starting the activity are: • Make sure the oracle listener is started • Database instance ‘ORCL’ is started. • The port used is 1521 • Give the hostname as 127.0.0.1, which is a general hostname.

  15. Demo-2 • Finally, the results from the model are published to a table, and this table forms the raw source for the new OLAP product dimension. • At this point there is no information relating to revenue, costs or quantity. So, we need to extend the activity beyond association analysis to OLAP.

  16. OLAP • We have to correctly format the results obtained from Association analysis for dimension mapping in OLAP. This can be done using OLAP DML or PL/SQL. • In our activity we create a separate dimension that can hold the results from algorithm. For each dimension we can create Levels, hierarchies, attributes and mappings.

  17. OLAP- Analytic workspace • Launch Analytic workspace and give the login details as Username- sh Connection information- 127.0.0.1:1521:orcl This connects to Oracle sample schema SH on 1521 port and local host 127.0.0.1 and orcl database instance.

  18. Demo 3- OLAP Analytic Workspace • Perform the activity and show the mappings

  19. Conclusion • We have shown how Market basket analysis using association rules works in determining the customer buying patterns. This can be further extended using OLAP Analytic workspace as shown in demo-3, to add dimensions and cube to identify other measures like costs, revenue and quantity.
