Antecedent and Consequent

Defines antecedent and consequent in an Apriori algorithm.

The IF component of an association rule is known as the antecedent. The THEN component is known as the consequent. The antecedent and the consequent are disjoint; they have no items in common.

Oracle Machine Learning for SQL supports association rules that have one or more items in the antecedent and a single item in the consequent.
