Introduction
In data mining, Apriori is a classic algorithm for learning association rules. Apriori is designed to operate on databases containing transactions (for example, collections of items bought by customers, or details of a website frequentation).

Other algorithms are designed for finding association rules in data having no transactions (Winepi and Minepi), or having no timestamps (DNA sequencing).

Overview
The whole point of the algorithm (and data mining, in general) is to extract useful information from large amounts of data. For example, the information that a customer who purchases a keyboard also tends to buy a mouse at the same time is acquired from the association rule below:

Support: The percentage of task-relevant data transactions for which the pattern is true.

Support (Keyboard -> Mouse) = AprioriAlgorithm/eq_1.JPG

Confidence: The measure of certainty or trustworthiness associated with each discovered pattern.

Confidence (Keyboard -> Mouse) = AprioriAlgorithm/eq_2.JPG

The algorithm aims to find the rules which satisfy both a minimum support threshold and a minimum confidence threshold (Strong Rules).

Item: article in the basket.
Itemset: a group of items purchased together in a single transaction.
How Apriori Works
Find all frequent itemsets:
Get frequent items:
Items whose occurrence in database is greater than or equal to the min.support threshold.
Get frequent itemsets:
Generate candidates from frequent items.
Prune the results to find the frequent itemsets.
Generate strong association rules from frequent itemsets
Rules which satisfy the min.support and min.confidence threshold.
