Talk:Sequential pattern mining

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.
