The Ensemble Apriori Algorithm applies ensemble principles to the classic Apriori frequent-pattern miner by running multiple Apriori instances on different data partitions or parameter settings and merging their rule sets. This approach improves coverage, reduces sensitivity to the minimum-support threshold, and scales association rule mining to larger transactional datasets.
