Including and Excluding Rules

Explains including rules and excluding rules used in association.

Including rules enables a user to provide a list of items such that at least one item from the list must appear in the rules that are returned. Excluding rules enables a user to provide a list of items such that no item from the list can appear in the rules that are returned.

Note:

Since each association rule includes both antecedent and consequent, a set of including or excluding rules can be specified for antecedent while another set of including or excluding rules can be specified for consequent. Including or excluding rules can also be defined for the association rule.
