is.significant | R Documentation |
Provides the generic functions is.significant()
and the method to
find significant rules.
is.significant(x, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'rules'
is.significant(
x,
transactions = NULL,
method = "fisher",
alpha = 0.01,
adjust = "none",
reuse = TRUE,
...
)
x |
a set of rules. |
... |
further arguments are passed on to |
transactions |
optional set of transactions. Only needed if not sufficient
interest measures are available in |
method |
test to use. Options are |
alpha |
required significance level. |
adjust |
method to adjust for multiple comparisons. Some options are
|
reuse |
logical indicating if information in the quality slot should be reuse for calculating the measures. |
The implementation for association rules uses Fisher's exact test with correction for multiple comparisons to test the null hypothesis that the LHS and the RHS of the rule are independent. Significant rules have a p-value less then the specified significance level alpha (the null hypothesis of independence is rejected). See Hahsler and Hornik (2007) for details.
returns a logical vector indicating which rules are significant.
