Semarang University (USM) is a private university in Semarang that has the most 2 students in Central Java. Based on the 2019 USM tracer data showing horizontal alignment, namely how close the relationship between the field of study and alumni work is, it appears that there is still a discrepancy in the ability of graduates with stakeholders. The Apriori algorithm is the best-known algorithm for finding high-frequency patterns Rules that state associations between attributes are often called affinity analysis or market basket analysis. The use of the Apriori Algorithm in data mining calculations using data from the Semarang University tracer that the limit of the minimum support is 50% and the minimum confidence is 100% so that it forms 4 rules. From the four rules produced that modeling using the Apriori Algorithm can produce several rule formations so that it can provide an evaluation to the University for compiling steps, this can be seen because the resulting rules are different because each graduate relationship with the desired desires and different styles.

A retail store faces significant challenges in crafting effective sales strategies, particularly in designing promotional product bundles. To address this, the store leverages transaction data to analyze customer purchasing patterns, aiming to uncover products frequently bought together. This study employs data mining techniques, specifically the Apriori algorithm, to identify co-purchasing behaviors using 49,316 transaction records collected from January to June 2024. After thorough data cleaning and transformation, the Apriori algorithm identified 877 itemsets, spanning from frequent 1-itemsets to 4-itemsets. By setting a minimum support threshold of 0.003, the analysis narrowed down to 343 significant itemsets, including 325 frequent 1-itemsets and 18 frequent 2-itemsets, which served as the basis for generating association rules. Initially, 36 association rules were derived, highlighting various product relationships. To focus on impactful insights, the rules were filtered using a minimum confidence level of 0.5, yielding 3 highly relevant rules with lift ratios exceeding 1, indicating strong associations between antecedent and consequent products. These insights enable the store to design targeted promotional bundles, optimize product placement, and enhance overall sales performance. Additionally, this study demonstrates how data-driven strategies can provide a competitive edge by aligning with customer purchasing behaviors. To ensure continuous improvement, a Python-based system was developed, empowering the store to independently analyze transaction data and refine sales strategies in real time, adapting to evolving purchasing patterns as the dataset grows.

Any difficulty in analyzing sales transaction data is often faced by a company due to the huge number of sales transactions and the limited tools to process the data. It results in losses for the company since it is difficult to estimate the goods supply for subsequent sales. In this paper a data mining application is designed to analyze sales data. Market Basket Analysis is a data mining application that aims to determine most purchased or used products at once by the consumer. The process of Market Basket Analysis is to analyze consumer buying habits by finding associations among products purchased by different customers. The method used in Market Basket Analysis is a method of Fuzzy c-Covering, which is one method to classify the elements of a universal set into partitions of fuzzy sets. This study found that the value of support and confidence is part of the Market Basket Analysis, computed using the Fuzzy c-Covering. The higher the limit, the more selected the analytical results obtained are.

A provided data from a transactional database, has supported technical development which can automatically find product association or items saved in the database. This finding association rules between saved product in database known as mining association rules. There are so many theories and algorithm developed for conducting mining association rules. One of algorithm developed is Apriori algorithm. This method, has a main goal to find the maximum frequent itemset. Next, this frequent itemset will be generated into associative rules which are not shown before in the database, become valuable information for considering materials in the decision process. Apriori algorithm is a interpretation technique of mining association rules, will be implemented into a web based software. On the software test which use in some different data, it’s concluded that time for mining association rules depends on the presence of every item in every transaction, total of transaction, minimum support and minimum confidence. For smaller value of minimum support and minimum confidence that entered, program will generate more association rules, vice versa.

Discovering the relationship between behavior and personality of learner in the web-based learning environment is a key to guide learners in the learning process. This paper proposes a new concept called personality mining to find the “deep” personality through the observed data about the behavior. First, a learner model which includes personality model and behavior model is proposed. Second, we have designed and implemented an improved algorithm, which is based on Apriori algorithm widely used in market basket analysis, to identify the relationship. Third, we have discussed various issues like constructing the learner model, unifying the value domain of heterogeneous model attributes, and improving Apriori algorithm with decision domain. Experiment result indicated that this algorithm for mining association rules between behavior and personality is feasible and efficient. The algorithm has been used in a web-based learning environment developed at Xi’an Jiaotong University.

Analyzing and systematically extracting essential information from recording transactions is important for a business, including online stores. Sometimes, some online stores offer a product package that is not suitable for the customer. It happens because they did not process the data transaction to observe the association between products on a package. A web-based recommendation system was build using the CodeIgniter framework with PHP programming language. The system developed using Market Basket analysis that can determine the combination of products. Apriori algorithm used as a technique to analyze the relationship between products based on the data transaction. The lift ratio value generated from the rule is 1.18, which means that the rule has the power of relationships between items. We evaluate the system using USE questionnaire with usefulness results is 90.83%, ease of use 89.09%, ease of learning 95%, and satisfaction 90.94%, which strongly agree in every aspect.

Association rule mining (ARM) is a well-researched domain in the field of data mining. It is seen as a problem of predicting customers purchasing behavior, popularly known as "Market Basket Analysis".
