DATA mining is the process of revealing nontrivial, previously unknown and potentially useful information from large databases. Discovering useful patterns hidden in a database plays an essential role in several data mining tasks, such as frequent pattern mining, weighted frequent pattern mining, and high utility pattern mining. Among them, frequent pattern mining is a fundamental research topic that has been applied to different kinds of databases, such as transactional databases , streaming databases , and time series databases , and various application domains, such as bioinformatics , Web click-stream analysis , and mobile environments. Nevertheless, relative importance of each item is not considered in frequent pattern mining. To address this problem, weighted association rule mining was proposed. In this framework, weights of items, such as unit profits of items in transaction databases, are considered. With this concept, even if some items appear infrequently, they might still be found if they have high weights. In this framework, the quantities of items are not considered yet. the requirements of users who are interested in discovering the itemsets with high sales profits, since the profits are composed of unit profits, i.e., weights, and purchased quantities. In view of this, utility mining emerges as an important topic in data mining field. Mining high utility itemsets from databases refers to finding the itemsets with high profits. The meaning of itemset utility is interestingness, importance, or profitability of an item to users.
