The algorithms in pami were packaged in a hierarchical fashion.

1. The first hierarchical level is ‘PAMI’.
2. The second hierarchical level is the theoretical model of a pattern.
3. The third hierarchical level is the type of pattern.
4. The final level contains the name of a mining algorithm.

PAMI
  |-theoreticalModelOfPattern
            |-patternType (e.g., basic/maximal/closed/topk)
                    |-algorithmName

Note: Understanding the structure of PAMI is crucial to import an algorithm in PAMI.

Referring/utilizing an algorithm in PAMI is as follows:

PAMI.theoreticalModelOfPattern.patternType.algorithmName

Example: PAMI.frequentPattern.basic.apriori
