Hi John,

You can use WRITE (see ? WRITE) to save rules to a file in the
from:

{a,b,c} => {d} 0.1 0.3 2.2

where the numbers after the rule are support, confidence and lift.
There is no csv export since the number of items in the rules varies and the data structure can not be converted into a simple table.

Alternatively you can export the rules using PMML (XML) and use a XML parser to get the rules.

Best,
Michael

I am new to R( but quickly being awed by the range of this it can accomplish,
you have one more convert to the useR universe). I have successfully
implemented the apriori function and are getting great results. My question
concerns how to export these results. I have read lots about write.csv
functions and exporting data frames and other standard objects. Im having
difficulty working with these S4 objects. My object looks as follows.

What is am most interested in is exporting to a csv or some form of table.
Where the 1,2 or n transactions on the left are listed in c(1,2,...n) and
the dependent data point is in c(4 or n+1)(I have limited the max number to
three) and the support/conf/lift is the next tree columns.

something like:

  93543_413.9 | 93555_413.9 | 93545_413.9 |  0.01541426 |  1.0000000 |
60.04959

I have searched around but haven't found anything. Can someone help or
supply some more promising search terms to direct my dive into
documentation.


Thanks,

John
