arulesNBMiner - Mining NB-Frequent Itemsets and NB-Precise Rules - R package

This R package extends package arules with NBMiner, an implementation of the model-based mining algorithm for mining NB-frequent itemsets presented in “Michael Hahsler. A model-based frequency constraint for mining associations from transaction data. Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, 13(2):137-166, September 2006.” In addition an extension for NB-precise rules is implemented.

Installation

Stable CRAN version: install from within R with

install.packages("arulesNBMiner")

Current development version: Download package from AppVeyor or install from GitHub (needs devtools).

install_git("mhahsler/arulesNBMiner")

Usage

Estimate NBD model parameters

library(arulesNBMiner)
data("Agrawal")
param <- NBMinerParameters(Agrawal.db, pi=0.99, theta=0.5, maxlen=5,
     minlen=1, trim = 0, verb = TRUE, plot=TRUE)

using Expectation Maximization for missing zero class
iteration = 1 , zero class = 2 , k = 1.08506 , m = 278.7137 
total items =  716

Mine NB-frequent itemsets

itemsets_NB <- NBMiner(Agrawal.db, parameter = param, 
     control = list(verb = TRUE, debug=FALSE))

parameter specification:
   pi theta   n       k           a minlen maxlen rules
 0.99   0.5 716 1.08506 0.001515447      1      5 FALSE

algorithmic control:
 verbose debug
    TRUE FALSE
