Display Associations and Transactions in Readable Form

Description

Provides the generic function inspect() and methods to display associations and transactions plus additional information formatted for online inspection.

Usage

inspect(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'itemsets'
inspect(x, itemSep = ", ", setStart = "{", setEnd = "}", linebreak = NULL, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'rules'
inspect(
  x,
  itemSep = ", ",
  setStart = "{",
  setEnd = "}",
  ruleSep = "=>",
  linebreak = NULL,
  ...
)

## S4 method for signature 'transactions'
inspect(x, itemSep = ", ", setStart = "{", setEnd = "}", linebreak = NULL, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'itemMatrix'
inspect(x, itemSep = ", ", setStart = "{", setEnd = "}", linebreak = NULL, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'tidLists'
inspect(x, ...)

Arguments

x

a set of associations or transactions or an itemMatrix.

...

additional arguments. can be used to customize the output:

itemSep

item separator

setStart

set start symbol

setEnd

set end symbol

linebreak

print only one element per line in case the output lines get very long?

ruleSep

rule separator

Details

inspect() prints the results directly. If you need to create a data.frame with a human readable version, then you can use DATAFRAME().

Value

Nothing is returned (see the Details Section).

Examples

data("Adult")
rules <- apriori(Adult)

## display some rules
inspect(rules[1000:1001])
inspect(rules[1000:1001], ruleSep = "~~>", itemSep = " + ", setStart = "", setEnd = "",
  linebreak = FALSE)

## to get rules in readable format, use coercion or DATAFRAME with additional parameters.
as(rules[1000:1001], "data.frame")
DATAFRAME(rules[1000:1001])
DATAFRAME(rules[1000:1001], separate = TRUE, setStart = "", setEnd = "")
