1. Consider the data set shown in Table 5.20 (439 page). (Chapter 5)

(a) Compute the support for itemsets {e}, {b, d}, and {b, d, e} by treating each transaction ID as a market basket.

(b) Use the results in part (a) to compute the confidence for the association rules {b, d} −→ {e} and {e} −→ {b, d}. Is confidence a symmetric measure?

(c) Repeat part (a) by treating each customer ID as a market basket. Each item should be treated as a binary variable (1 if an item appears in at least one transaction bought by the customer, and 0 otherwise). Use this result to compute the confidence for the association rules {b, d} −→ {e} and {e} −→ {b, d}.

2. Consider the transactions shown in Table 6.15, with an item taxonomy given in Figure 6.15 (515 page). (Chapter 6)

(a) What are the main challenges of mining association rules with item taxonomy?

(b) Consider the approach where each transaction t is replaced by an extended transaction t_ that contains all the items in t as well as their respective ancestors. For example, the transaction t = { Chips, Cookies} will be replaced by t_ = {Chips, Cookies, Snack Food, Food}. Use this approach to derive all frequent itemsets (up to size 4) with support ≥ 70%.

(c) Consider an alternative approach where the frequent itemsets are generated one level at a time. Initially, all the frequent itemsets involving items at the highest level of the hierarchy are generated. Next, we use the frequent itemsets discovered at the higher level of the hierarchy to generate candidate itemsets involving items at the lower levels of the hierarchy. For example, we generate the candidate itemset {Chips, Diet Soda} only if {Snack Food, Soda} is frequent. Use this approach to derive all frequent itemsets (up to size 4) with support ≥ 70%.

3. Consider a data set consisting of 2²⁰ data vectors, where each vector has 32 components and each component is a 4-byte value. Suppose that vector quantization is used for compression and that 2¹⁶ prototype vectors are used. How many bytes of storage does that data set take before and after compression and what is the compression ratio? (Chapter 7)

Deliverable: Draw an Entity-Relationship Diagram using ER-Assistant or equivalent software to capture data requirements for Mama Mia’s Pizzeria. The deliverable is a complete ER model, and a relational schema to document the data model for the following scenario.

• The ER diagram must include the necessary entity classes and all attributes specified in the description.

• Identifiers for all entity classes must be shown clearly.

• Relationships must be named, with cardinalities clearly shown.

• Write down your assumption clearly if necessary

• Do your best, if you are having troubles, please write that out with the assumptions.

• There are multiple right answers for this problem, so please don’t compare with others, as you can all read the definition differently.

PLEASE UPLOAD individually THE ER MODEL (As a JPG,PNG, or PDF) AND THE RELATIONAL SCHEMA (a separate word or text document)

Case Description

Mama Mia’s (MM) pizzeria offers pizzas, breadsticks, and Buffalo chicken wings for carry out customers only. Customers phone in the order and come by to pick up their order. When regular customers call MM over phone, they are asked for their phone number. New customers must provide this information before placing orders.

Once the order is taken, the tax, and order total is computed. The order is then printed and submitted to the kitchen where the order is prepared. A receipt is printed and given to the customer. Payment from the customer should be in check or cash only.

Customers may provide coupons. Coupon information (discount applicable and validity period) must be provided when placing the order and the coupon must be submitted when picking up the order.

MM has a set of suppliers who supply the ingredients for their products (pizza & breadsticks) such as flour for pizza crust, cheese, a variety of toppings, chicken wings, spices, as well as other ingredients for the pizza sauce.

MM would like to design a system that would serve the following purposes:

• Facilitate order acceptance and tracking

• Facilitate generation of daily, weekly, and monthly sales summaries

• Facilitate generation of products sold on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.

• Facilitate tracking promotional sales (the ones with coupons).

• To maintain the inventory of ingredients so that they can identify which supplier to call if they need a particular ingredient and to keep track of the amount of each they have on hand and on order.

• To know the customer preferences in terms of what the customer usually orders. For example when a customer calls in and gives his/her phone number and says “the usual”, MM knows exactly what to prepare! MM believes that this will save customers a lot of frustration.
