All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class ItemSet extends Object implements Serializable
A representation of a set of items with their support (frequency) within a data set. Items are represented by int values. It is assumed that each item has a distinct integer identifier.

The necessary methods are implemented allowing instances of this class to be used within the standard utility library (i.e. HashMap ...).
