Michael Hahsler, Sudheer Chelluboina, Kurt Hornik, Christian Buchta · 2011
This paper describes the ecosystem of R add-on packages developed around the infrastructure pro-vided by the package arules. The packages provide comprehensive functionality for analyzing interesting patterns including frequent itemsets, association rules, frequent sequences and for build-ing applications like associative classification. After discussing the ecosystem’s design we illustrate the ease of mining and visualizing rules with a short example.
