Frequent Pattern Growth

p
"""
The Frequent Pattern Growth algorithm (FP-Growth) is a widely used data mining
technique for discovering frequent itemsets in large transaction databases.

It overcomes some of the limitations of traditional methods such as Apriori by
efficiently constructing the FP-Tree
