概要	Association Rule Mining is an unsupervised data-mining technique that discovers co-occurrence patterns among items in transactional datasets. Formally introduced by Agrawal, Imieliński, and Swami in 1993, and refined with the landmark Apriori algorithm by Agrawal and Srikant in 1994, it identifies rules of the form X ⇒ Y — meaning that transactions containing itemset X tend to also contain itemset Y — quantified by support, confidence, and lift.	Formal concept analysis derives a hierarchy of concepts from a simple table of which objects have which attributes. Founded by Rudolf Wille in 1982 on lattice theory, it pairs each set of objects with the attributes they all share to form 'formal concepts', then organizes these into a concept lattice — a mathematically grounded, interpretable hierarchy used for knowledge discovery, ontology building, and explainable analysis of categorical data.	FP-Growth, introduced by Jiawei Han, Jian Pei, and Yiwen Yin in 2000, mines frequent itemsets from transaction data without generating candidate sets, the costly step that slows the classic Apriori algorithm. It compresses the database into a frequent-pattern tree (FP-tree) in two scans, then grows frequent patterns recursively from that structure, making it dramatically faster than Apriori on large, dense datasets.
