Frequent pattern mining may generate many superfluous patterns. Therefore, it is important to develop methods that mine compressed patterns. Suppose a user would like to obtain only \(k\) patterns (where \(k\) is a small integer). Outline an efficient method that generates the \(\boldsymbol{k}\) most representative patterns, where more distinct patterns are preferred over very similar patterns. Illustrate the effectiveness of your method using a small data set.
