    Hi @AP, 
    as far as I know, this parameter is not part of the GSP algorithm. You can work with other variations like CloSpan, PrefixSpan for that.

    Hi @AP, 

    I worked with this parameter in other algorithms but not directly in GSP, but I think that the windows size parameter of GSP is equivalent in this case.

    you mean  the windows size parameter of GSP is equivalent to maxspan ？

    Hi @AP, 
    I implemented the maxspan in python using the Clospan algorithm, not the GSP, but as mentioned this blog 
    http://simpledatamining.blogspot.com/2015/03/generalized-sequential-pattern-gsp.html

    " Window sizes limit the span of time when transactions are deemed to support a sequence.  (e.g. I only want buying patterns for pregnant women during a 9 month window)"

    best,
