The Sequence node discovers association rules in sequential or time-oriented
data. A sequence is a list of item sets that tends to occur in a predictable order. For example, a
customer who purchases a razor and aftershave lotion may purchase shaving cream the next time he
shops. The Sequence node is based on the CARMA association rules algorithm, which uses an efficient
two-pass method for finding sequences.
Example
node = stream.create("sequence", "My node")
# "Fields" tab
node.setPropertyValue("id_field", "Age")
node.setPropertyValue("contiguous", True)
node.setPropertyValue("use_time_field", True)
node.setPropertyValue("time_field", "Date1")
node.setPropertyValue("content_fields", ["Drug", "BP"])
node.setPropertyValue("partition", "Test")
# "Model" tab
node.setPropertyValue("use_model_name", True)
node.setPropertyValue("model_name", "Sequence_test")
node.setPropertyValue("use_partitioned_data", False)
node.setPropertyValue("min_supp", 15.0)
node.setPropertyValue("min_conf", 14.0)
node.setPropertyValue("max_size", 7)
node.setPropertyValue("max_predictions", 5)
# "Expert" tab
node.setPropertyValue("mode", "Expert")
node.setPropertyValue("use_max_duration", True)
node.setPropertyValue("max_duration", 3.0)
node.setPropertyValue("use_pruning", True)
node.setPropertyValue("pruning_value", 4.0)
node.setPropertyValue("set_mem_sequences", True)
node.setPropertyValue("mem_sequences", 5.0)
node.setPropertyValue("use_gaps", True)
node.setPropertyValue("min_item_gap", 20.0)
node.setPropertyValue("max_item_gap", 30.0)
