"Can I label the data using the Apriori Algorithm?"

mario_sark

Hello All, 

My Question is in RapidMiner , once i created rules using Apriori algorithm , can add an attribute which tell me this customer on which rule belongs ? 

the objective is that I've created an RFM Analysis based on Transactions, the next step was that i clustered my customer using K-Means Based on RFM into 3 clusters. the next step will be to do a profiling for these clusters . i need to add an attribute which tells me this customer which profile he/her belongs. 

Thank you in Advance, 
Mario

Hi @mario_sark,

Maybe a decision tree that leverage the cluster labels from k-means would help understanding the rules for clustering. You can also add operator toolbox extension for the "get decision tree path" which will explain the segmentation rules for  each customer.

I used the ICU patient data as example.
