ruleInduction {arules} | R Documentation |
Provides the generic function and the needed S4 method to induce all rules which can be generated by the given itemsets from a transactions data set.
ruleInduction(x, ...) ## S4 method for signature 'itemsets': ruleInduction(x, transactions, verbose = FALSE)
x |
the set of itemsets from which rules will be induced. |
... |
further arguments are passed on. |
transactions |
the transaction data set used to mine the itemsets. |
verbose |
logical; report progress. |
Currently, only a very simple rule induction method is implemented. All rules are mined from the transactions data set using the minimal support found in itemsets. And in a second step all rules which do not stem from one of the itemsets are removed. This procedure will be in many cases very slow (e.g., for itemsets with many elements or very low support).
