Download and Review Project 1 Document:

Before starting, download and thoroughly review the ‘Project 1 – Association Rules.docxActions‘ document. This document contains detailed instructions and guidelines.

Data Preparation:

Import the dataset into RapidMiner.

Perform any necessary data cleaning and preparation to facilitate the analysis.

Make sure to select the same attributes as instructed in the video.

Association Rule Mining:

Apply association rule mining techniques to the dataset following instructions in the Word document (You need to experiment with different measures to determine rules).

Generate a list of association rules that you find interesting and potentially useful.

Analysis and Interpretation:

For two tested models, provide an analysis and interpretation. Discuss why you think these rules are interesting and how they might be useful in a practical scenario.

Compare the results of the two model runs. What differences are observed?
