Treeminer uses the vertical scope-list representation to mine frequent sequences [2005-treeminer:tkde]. Treeminer counts all embeddings, whereas Treeminer-D counts only distinct occurrences, which can be more appropriate for some datasets. Also included is the horizontal format based PatternMatcher approach.
