Title: ANALYSING GROUNDWATER DATA IN LOCAL AND CLOUD STRUCUTRE USING FP-GROWTH ASSOCIATION MINING ALGORITHM
Abstract: 
Frequent itemset mining is one of the most prominent methods in data mining. Amongst the algorithms that have been successful so far are Apriori, Equivalence Class clustering and bottom-up Lattice Traversal (Eclat) and Frequent Pattern Growth (FP-Growth). While each algorithm has its own merits and demerits and a lot of comparison between the algorithms having been examined many times, this paper focuses on the efficiency of FP-Growth method in identifying frequent itemsets with respect to groundwater quality data that has been collected by the Tamil Nadu government towards developing public policy for water management. This paper explores the efficiency of FP-Growth algorithm in two scenarios. First one is local implementation and another one is mining in the cloud. This is done with a forward looking objective. With plans already underway to incorporate spatial attributes into the groundwater dataset and recording information from larger regions, scale becomes an important factor and hence, FP-Growth’s performance in the cloud context for the groundwater dataset becomes important. Results show that FP-Growth performed very well in identifying associations that are paramount for determining water quality and the cloud version of the algorithm outperformed its local implementation.
