Since new to association rules need help for identifying the most frequent
extra service ordered together with the products. And to derive the
association rules, I have used arules R package on past data.
I have collected and shaped the dataset as like you can download sample dataset from link (https://www.dropbox.com/s/4g5sqag9afsttmo/finaldf2.csv).
When I tried it with the following set of R codes, it can't calculate the association rules between product and services. But it calculates the rules between all services.
Can any one guide me why I am getting set of 0 rules for calculation of association rules of product. Am I doing something wrong to calculate the associations. Or My dataset should be different.
Here are the R codes generated for arules:
# Loading the library
library(arules)
# Loading the dataset
product.transaction.set <- read.csv("finaldf2.csv")
# calculating the association with apriori algo
rules <- apriori(product.transaction.set, parameter = list(support = 0.4,conf = 0.6,target = "rules"))
## 1 - for product
# Deriving the association rules for productname
rules.sub.product <- subset(rules, subset = lhs %pin% "LD") # output -> set of 0 rules
# for print the calculated association rules
inspect(rules.sub.product)
## 2- for add on services ()
# Deriving the association rules for add on services
rules.sub.services <- subset(rules, subset = lhs %pin% "AO1") # output -> set of 1 rules
# for print the calculated association rules
inspect(rules.sub.services)
