• A novel technique for mining frequent itemsets in data streams is<br />

proposed. The proposed technique has the ability <strong>of</strong> detecting distribution<br />

changes in real-time, and can out-perform others according<br />

to the experiments.<br />

1.5 Thesis Outline<br />

The remainder <strong>of</strong> this thesis is organized as follows. Chapter 2 presents<br />

the background <strong>of</strong> data stream mining. In Chapter 3, the problem <strong>of</strong><br />

distribution change detection is discussed and two change detection techniques<br />

are proposed. In Chapter 4, we discuss the potential <strong>of</strong> extending<br />

our proposed techniques to higher dimensions. A novel approach for mining<br />

frequent itemsets in transactional streams is presented in Chapter 5.<br />

Finally, Chapter 6 concludes this thesis with summarizations and suggestions<br />

for future work.<br />
