Questions and Answers

What is the function of the PrefixSpan algorithm?

  • To find the frequent events and generate projected databases (correct)
  • To process the data in a breadth-first manner
  • To focus on suffixes rather than prefixes
  • To store a detailed version of the database

What do suffixes represent in the context of sequences?

  • The set of events at the beginning of a sequence
  • The occurrence of the last event in the prefix at the same time as the first event in the suffix
  • The first event in the sequence
  • The rest of the elements in the sequence after the prefix (correct)

What does the notation (_) indicate in the context of prefixes and suffixes?

  • It signifies the end of a sequence
  • It shows the time relationship between the last event in the prefix and the first event in the suffix (correct)
  • It indicates an error in the sequence
  • It represents a prefix
