A data stream is a massive unbounded sequence of data elements continuously generated at a rapid rate. The continuous characteristic of streaming data necessitates the use of algorithms that require only one scan over the stream for knowledge discovery. Data mining over data streams should support the flexible trade-off between processing time and mining accuracy. In many application areas, mining frequent itemsets has been suggested to find important frequent itemsets by considering the weight of itemsets. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm WSFI (Weighted Support Frequent Itemsets)-Mine with normalized weight over data streams. Moreover, we propose a novel tree structure, called the Weighted Support FP-Tree (WSFP-Tree), that stores compressed crucial information about frequent itemsets. Empirical results show that our algorithm outperforms comparative algorithms under the windowed streaming model.

An efficient frequent pattern algorithm is essential for mining association rules as well as many other mining tasks for convergence with its application spread over a very broad spectrum. Models for mining pattern have been proposed using a FP-tree for storing compressed information about frequent patterns. In this paper, we propose a centroid frequent pattern growth algorithm which we called "CAWFP-Growth" that enhances he FP-Growth algorithm by making the center of weights and frequencies for the itemsets. Because the conventional constraint of maximum weighted support is not necessary to maintain the downward closure property, it is more likely to reduce the search time and the information loss of the frequent patterns. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance than other algorithms without scarifying the accuracy and increasing the processing time via the centroid of the items. The MapReduce framework model is provided to handle large amounts of data via a pseudo-distributed computing environment. In addition, the modeling of the proposed algorithm is required in the fully distributed mode.
