Mining frequent itemsets with Eclat

In addition to the Apriori algorithm, you can use the Eclat algorithm to generate frequent itemsets. As the Apriori algorithm performs a breadth-first search to scan the complete database, the support counting is rather time consuming. Alternatively, if the database fits into the memory, you can use the Eclat algorithm, which performs a depth-first search to count the supports. The Eclat algorithm, therefore, performs quicker than the Apriori algorithm. In this recipe, we will introduce how to use the Eclat algorithm to generate frequent itemsets.
