PrefixSpan source code in python

The prefixspan is a key algorithm for mining sequential patterns. I have implemented the algorithm in Python. The algorithm is based on the following paper:

Jian Pei, Jiawei Han, Senior Member, Behzad Mortazavi-asl, Jianyong Wang, Helen Pinto, Qiming Chen, Umeshwar Dayal. Mining Sequential Patterns by Pattern-Growth: The PrefixSpan Approach. IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, 2004.

or their conference paper

You may download the source code at the following addresses:

If some of you are looking for a Java version of prefixspan, check my website. It includes source code of PrefixSpan, SPAM and more...

please correct me if i'm wrong but i think your implementation doesn't work for sequences which are composed of itemsets instead of items.

yes, the implementation doesn't work for sequences which are composed of itemsets instead of items.

Hi,
The link does not seem to be working
Did you take your implementation down?
I'm in a fix and would really appreciate it if you could send me the code.
Thanks

A simple implementation of DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) in C#/python

DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) is a very useful tools for time series analysis. This is a very simple (but not very efficient) c# implementation of DTW, the source code is available at  https://gist.github.com/1966342  . Use the program as below: double[] x = {9,3,1,5,1,2,0,1,0,2,2,8,1,7,0,6,4,4,5}; double[] y = {1,0,5,5,0,1,0,1,0,3,3,2,8,1,0,6,4,4,5}; SimpleDTW dtw = new SimpleDTW(x,y); dtw.calculateDTW(); The python implementation is available at  https://gist.github.com/3265694  . from python-dtw import Dtw import math dtw = Dtw([1, 2, 3, 4, 6], [1, 2, 3, 5],           distance_func=lambda x, y: math.fabs(x - y)) print dtw.calculate() #calculate the distance print dtw.get_path() #calculate the mapping path

Install mysql-python with mariadb

mysql-python requires libmysqlclient-dev in ubuntu, but the installation of mariadb will have the lib with unmet dependenccies, so the error of "mysql_config not found" may occurred if you install mysql-python via pip. The case is that mariadb has a compatible package, if you have the ppa setup as in  http://downloads.mariadb.org/ . Just "sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev".

The default CREATE TABLE options for Aria Engine in mariadb

The official document of mariadb does not mention the default CREATE TABLE options for tables using Aria Engine.  The default options are list as below: TRANSACTIONAL,  the default value is TRANSACTIONAL=0, i.e., non-transactional. ROW_FORMAT, the default value is ROW_FORMAT=PAGE, which may suits both transactional and non-transactional tables. PAGE_CHECKSUM,  the default value will follow aria_page_checksum system variable, which has default value ON. For the TRANSACTIONAL option, you may consider create a table as below(and ALTER the TRANSACTIONAL=1): CREATE TABLE `test_table` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=Aria; If you change the ROW_FORMAT to DYNAMIC or FIXED, everything just goes fine. But if you have ALTER the table with TRANSACTION=1 and change the ROW_FORMAT to DYNAMIC or FIXED, you may got a warning: SHOW WARNINGS; +-------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Level | Code | Message | +-------+--
