I don't think Itemset mining and Aprori algorithm itself is a sequence mining algorithm. In Apriori the order of the transactions or the order of the items in the transactions are not important. This order information is not used in the algorithm. We can define a sequence as an ordered set of transactions. I argue that the definition of the "sequence" requires a sequence mining algorithm to make use of the order of transactions (or order of items in transactions) in the sequences.
Yes, I agree, that was probably overreaching on my part to include itemset mining as a sequence algorithm. It is better to say that they are among the most popular techniques to use on multivalue-sequence data, although they are not sequence mining algorithms themselves. - john_b_cassel
"Application"
The proposed application from George and Binu is irrelevant to the article and frankly not interesting. Their paper was not published in a reputable journal, leading me wonder if WP:PROMOTION / WP:SOAP are being violated. In any case, I'd say cull. 2601:C6:C202:7470:D06D:DFBC:9A14:D2EC ( talk) 05:34, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
Proposed merge with PrefixSpan
This short article is unlikely to be expanded much and can easily be covered in Sequential pattern mining. - Mr X 12:03, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
