Abstract
This paper introduces a new algorithm of mining association rules. The algorithm RP counts the itemsets with different sizes in the same pass of scanning over the database by dividing the database intom partitions. The total number of passes over the database is only (k+2m-2)/m, wherek is the longest size in the itemsets. It is much less thank.
