The principal parts of an association rule are the rule
body (also referred to as antecedent) and the rule head (also
referred to as consequent).
For example, where [x][y]
=>[z] is an association rule:
- The item set [x][y] is the rule body
- The item [z] is the rule head
The rule body contains the item or items for which the Associations
mining function has found an associated item. The rule head contains
the item found.
You can set a limit to the number of items found in an association
rule. To do this, specify the maximum rule length.
