PAFI Software Package for Finding Frequent Patterns in Diverse Datasets
The PAFI pattern discovery package is currently distributed as
a single file that contains binary distributions for Linux and
Sun platforms.
| Getting the files | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
The first step in using PAFI is to download the binary distribution
file. PAFI's distribution is
available as either a Unix gziped tar file or as a Windows
zip file.
Older versions of PAFI can be found here. | ||||
| Installing | ||||
On Unix systems, after downloading PAFI you need to
uncompress and untar it. This is achieved by executing
the following command:
gunzip pafi-1.0.1.tar.gz tar -xvf pafi-1.0.1.tar On Windows systems, you need to have a zip/unzip program (e.g., winzip) in order to unzip the files. In general, you just need to double click on "pafi-1.0.1.zip" and the file will be unzipped automatically. At this point you should have a directory named pafi-1.0.1. This directory contains PAFI's programs and some test datasets. | ||||
