self.config.min_pattern_support in breds_parallel.py clarification

[zqyeo]

Hi, I'd like to check on the variable self.config.min_pattern_support.

In line 293 (breds_parallel.py), the check for len(p.tuples) > self.config.min_pattern_support occurs under the if condition of len(self.patterns) == 0

However, under the else case, there is no such checks to remove patterns with tuples less than the min support. Is this deliberate by design? Otherwise, should the check also be done for len(self.patterns) != 0 too?

Thank you.
