“…These rules are usually generated from sequential patterns or episodes (Febrer‐Hernández & Hernández‐Palancar, 2012; Fournier‐Viger, Lin, Kiran, Koh, & Thomas, 2017; Mooney & Roddick, 2013; Zimmermann, 2014) that appear in a single sequence (Mannila et al, 1997; Deogun & Jiang, 2005), across sequences (Lo, Ramalingam, Ranganath, & Vaswani, 2012; G. Das, Lin, Mannila, Renganathan, & Smyth, 1998), or common to multiple sequences (Lo et al, 2009; Fournier‐Viger, Wu, Tseng, Cao, & Nkambou, 2015). Classical algorithms are usually extended making use of a sliding‐window in which they find the frequent itemsets that will be used to generate the rules (Mannila et al, 1997; Fournier‐Viger, Wu, Tseng, & Nkambou, 2012).…”
