Association-Rule Generator

Generate implication rules from frequent itemsets and filter them by support, confidence, and lift.

Description

Derive association rules and calculate support, confidence, and lift.

Association Rule Generator: Derive association rules and calculate support, confidence, and lift.

When to use Association Rule Generator

Use this method to discover frequent item combinations and implication-style association rules in transaction-like data under explicit support and confidence thresholds.

Transactions
Required object input.
Minimum support
Required number input.
Minimum confidence
Required number input.
Maximum itemset size
Required integer input.

How Association Rule Generator works

Derive association rules and calculate support, confidence, and lift. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Rules
The resulting rules returned as an object.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Frequent co-occurrence does not imply causation or practical importance. Results are sensitive to basket definition, duplicate handling, rare items, threshold selection, sampling, and multiple comparisons; confidence can also be misleading when consequents are common.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Review support, confidence, lift, leverage, and absolute counts together. Validate useful rules on held-out or later data and apply domain constraints before acting on them.

  • Oxygen Altitude Threshold

    Compare a flight altitude with a threshold supplied by the user and calculate feet above or below that threshold. Oxygen rules vary by jurisdiction, aircraft, duration, and crew/passenger status; this tool does not choose a legal threshold.

    Apply common English plural spelling rules and a small irregular-noun table to a lowercase noun. English exceptions are extensive, so treat the result as a rule-based suggestion rather than a dictionary lookup.
