## Public predicates

### `mine/3`

Mines a pattern miner result from the given dataset object using the specified options.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`mine(Dataset,PatternMiner,Options)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`mine(+object_identifier,-compound,+list(compound))` - `one`

### `mine/2`

Mines a pattern miner result from the given dataset object using default options.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`mine(Dataset,PatternMiner)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`mine(+object_identifier,-compound)` - `one`

### `diagnostics/2`

Returns diagnostics and metadata associated with a mined pattern miner in a representation-independent way.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`diagnostics(PatternMiner,Diagnostics)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`diagnostics(+compound,-list(compound))` - `one`

### `diagnostic/2`

Tests or enumerates individual diagnostics metadata terms for a mined pattern miner.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`diagnostic(PatternMiner,Diagnostic)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`diagnostic(+compound,?compound)` - `zero_or_more`

### `pattern_miner_options/2`

Returns the effective mining options recorded in a mined pattern miner diagnostics list.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`pattern_miner_options(PatternMiner,Options)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`pattern_miner_options(+compound,-list(compound))` - `zero_or_one`

### `check_pattern_miner/1`

Checks that the argument is a structurally valid mined pattern miner term for the receiving pattern miner implementation, throwing an exception on invalid input when applicable.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`check_pattern_miner(PatternMiner)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`check_pattern_miner(@compound)` - `one_or_error`
Exceptions:
`PatternMiner` is a variable:
`instantiation_error`
`PatternMiner` is neither a variable nor a valid pattern miner:
`domain_error(pattern_miner,PatternMiner)`

### `valid_pattern_miner/1`

True when `check_pattern_miner/1` succeeds for the argument without throwing an exception.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`valid_pattern_miner(PatternMiner)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`valid_pattern_miner(@compound)` - `zero_or_one`

### `export_to_clauses/4`

Converts a pattern miner result into a list of predicate clauses. `Functor` is the functor for the generated predicate clauses.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`export_to_clauses(Dataset,PatternMiner,Functor,Clauses)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`export_to_clauses(+object_identifier,+compound,+callable,-list(clause))` - `one`

### `export_to_file/4`

Exports a pattern miner result to a file. `Functor` is the functor for the generated predicate clauses.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`export_to_file(Dataset,PatternMiner,Functor,File)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`export_to_file(+object_identifier,+compound,+callable,+atom)` - `one`

### `print_pattern_miner/1`

Prints a pattern miner result to the current output stream in a human-readable format.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`print_pattern_miner(PatternMiner)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`print_pattern_miner(+compound)` - `one`
