Predicting Missing Items in a Shopping Cart using Positional Mining Algorithm
Main Article Content
Abstract
Prediction in shopping cart uses partial information about the contents of a shopping cart for the prediction of what else the customer is likely to buy. Existing representation uses Itemset Tree (IT-tree) data structure, all rules whose antecedents contain atleast one item from the incomplete shopping cart generated. This paper uses a new concept of “Positional Lexicographic Tree†(PLT) with which frequ-ent itemsets are generated. Association rules are to be generated from the already generated frequent itemsets by using Positional Mining Algorithm.Then, we combine these rules by using Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory of evid-ence combination. Finally the predicted items are genera-ted to the user.
