Why FP-growth approach is considered better than Apriori approach? Explain./How FP tree is better than Apriori Algorithm?

 Apriori Algorithm :

It is a classic algorithm for learning association rules.

It uses a bottom-up approach where frequent subsets are extended one at a time.

It uses a Breadth-first search and hash tree structure to count candidate item sets efficiently.


FP Growth:

It allows frequent itemset discovery without candidate generation.

It builds a compact data structure called FP tree with two passes over the database.

It extracts frequent itemsets directly from the FP tree and traverses through the FP tree.
