However, when I was working on the same, I hit a roadblock since the data was neither in single format, nor in basket(Step 2 explains what a basket format is).

I spent quite some time converting the data into the required format to be able to find the association rules.

Date: The date of transaction ItemDescription: The description of the actual item that was bought.

The second columns consists of the items bought in that transaction, separated by spaces or commas or some other separator.

You might end up getting something like this: You have loaded plyr after dplyr this is likely to cause problems.

The ddply function works pretty well even with larger datasets, I have tried it with a million rows and it takes only a few minutes to pivot the table.

The reason we do this is, when we write a dataframe to a.csv file, it attaches a row number by default.

FALSE in the write.csv function).

We can simply use these row numbers as transaction IDs, as they would be unique to each transaction.

To print the association rules, we use a function called inspect().

However, if you have package tm attached in the session, it creates a conflict with the arules package.

Alternative to inspect() is to convert rules to a dataframe and then use View().

Install and load the arulesViz library for association rules specific visualizations.
