Sequential patterns vs sequential rules?
Sequential patterns vs sequential rules?
Could someone help me understand in what situation I should use a sequential rule mining algorithm or a sequential pattern mining algorithm? It seems that the input is almost the same between these tasks.
Re: Sequential patterns vs sequential rules?
I think the difference is that sequential patterns are like a list of elements. For example: buy apple, buy bread, buy cookie, buy milk
On the other hand, a sequential rules is like an IF-THEN rule: IF you buy cookie THEN you buy milk and bread.
On the other hand, a sequential rules is like an IF-THEN rule: IF you buy cookie THEN you buy milk and bread.
