WEKA FP-growth association rules not finding rules

For a report I have to find association rules of a data set of transactions. I downloaded this data set: http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/online+retail

Then I deleted some columns, converted to nominal values and normalized and then

I got this: https://ufile.io/gz3do

So I thought I had a data set with transactions on which I could use FP-growth and Apriori but I'm not getting any rules.

It just tells me: No rules found!

Can someone please explain to me if and what I'm doing wrong?

Solution

  • one reason could be that your support and/or confidence value are too high. try low ones. e.g. a support and confidence level of 0.001%. another reason could be that your data set just doesn't contain any association rules. try another data set which certainly contains association rules from a set minimum support and confidence value.
