Hi All, A good tool. I also use SPMF (Java-based library) and Apache Spark (they do not have closed itemsets there). There is a part of Orange data mining on association rules mining, which can be used as a Python library. A couple of years ago I asked Gilles Louppe about frequent itemset mining tools within scikit-learn as well. The answer was something like that — nobody asked us about that...

Hi Jeff,

had a similar question 1-2 years ago and ended up using Chris Borgelt's C command line tools but for convenience, i also implemented basic association rule & frequent pattern mining in Python here:

My students use it too :-) пн, 11 июня 2018 г. в 20:53, Christian Braune <christian.braune79@gmail.com

Hey,

Christian Borgelt currently has several itemset mining algorithms online with a python interface: http://borgelt.net/pyfim.html .

Best regards, Chris

We have definitely discussed association rules in issues before. It's considered out of scope for scikit-learn, except insofar as it is used for learning classification. We haven't yet been convinced that classifiers based on associative learning have enough practical demand to justify their maintenance in the project. Then again, we have not had a pull request implementing any such algorithms; there seems to be demand mostly for the vanilla association rule mining algorithms. They are definitely out of scope for scikit-learn. See: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/801, https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/2662, https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/2872 ​
