2. Consider the following set of candidate 3-itemsets: {1, 2, 5}, {1, 3, 4}, {1, 3, 5}, {2, 3, 5}, {2, 4, 5}, {3, 4, 6}, {4, 5, 6}.

(a) Construct a hash tree for the above candidate 3-itemsets. (25%)

Assume the tree uses a hash function where all odd-numbered items are hashed to the left child of a node, while all even-numbered items are hashed to the right child. A candidate 3-itemset is inserted into the tree by hashing on each successive item in the candidate and then following the appropriate branch of the tree according to the hash value. Once a leaf node is reached, the candidate is inserted based on one of the following conditions:

Condition 1: If the depth of the leaf node is equal to 3 (the root is assumed to be at depth 0), then the candidate is inserted regardless of the number of itemsets already stored at the node.

Condition 2: If the depth of the leaf node is less than 3, then the candidate can be inserted as long as the number of itemsets stored at the node is less than maxsize. Assume maxsize = 2 for this question.

Condition 3: If the depth of the leaf node is less than 3 and the number of itemsets stored at the node is equal to maxsize, then the leaf node is converted into an internal node. New leaf nodes are created as children of the old leaf node. Candidate itemsets previously stored in the old leaf node are distributed to the children based on their hash values. The new candidate is also hashed to its appropriate leaf node.

(b) Consider a transaction that contains the following items: {1, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Using the hash tree constructed in Part (a), which leaf nodes will be checked against the transaction? What are the candidate 3-itemsets contained in the transaction? (Bonus Point) (Hint: See Page 59 of the slides.)

3. Given the following transactions:

TID	Items bought
1	AC adapter, wireless router, printer, camera, USB hub
2	Plastic bags, camera, HDMI cable, USB hub, wireless router
3	Camera, HDMI cable, printer, wireless router
4	HDMI cable, AC adapter, printer, camera
5	USB hub, lens wipe, HDMI cable, camera, wireless router

1. Build the FP Tree if minimum support is 3 out of 5 (20%).
2. What is the confidence of {HDMI cable, camera} {printer}? (5%)
