The R package arulesCBA (Hahsler et al, 2020) is an extension of the package arules to perform association rule-based classification. The package provides the infrastructure for class association rules and implements associative classifiers based on the following algorithms:

The package also provides the infrastructure for associative classification (supervised discetization, mining class association rules (CARs)), and implements various association rule-based classification strategies (first match, majority voting, weighted voting, etc.).

Installation

Stable CRAN version: Install from within R with

install.packages("arulesCBA")

Current development version: Install from r-universe.

install.packages("arulesCBA",
    repos = c("https://mhahsler.r-universe.dev". "https://cloud.r-project.org/"))

Usage

library("arulesCBA")
data("iris")

Learn a classifier.

classifier <- CBA(Species ~ ., data = iris)
classifier
