Abstract: The present paper presents an efficient algorithm that improves set-enumeration tree and finds maximum frequent itemsets. By combining bottom-up and top-down searches in set-enumeration tree and making use of th e infrequent itemsets to prune candidates of the maximum frequent itemsets, the algorithm reduces the number of candidates of the maximum frequent itemsets gene rated by it so that the efficiency is increased.

Key words: association rule, set-enumeration tree, maximum freque nt itemset
