I want to use market basket analysis for Data that I have (Attached file), which columns should I select?
and which operator should I select? could you guide me step by step to figure out the association rule so that i could find correlation between products which are bought together.
many thanks

Hi @MohamadJavad,
Thanks for sharing the transaction data set. The improved FP-Growth operator for MB analysis can take various input formats. Please check out the tutorial process from the help docs for the detailed explanation of the acceptable formats
https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/modeling/associations/fp_growth.htmlBased on the columns given in the sample set, I concatenated the purchased item ID and descriptions in my process. You can use either one.Spoilerinput_formatSee the second tutorial for examples. As discussed in detail in the description, this Operator supports several different formats for the input data.
- item list in a column: All the items belonging to a transaction appear in a single column, separated by item separators, in a CSV-like format.
- items in separate columns: All the items belonging to a transaction appear in separate columns, with the first item name appearing in the first column, the second item name in the second column, etc.
- items in dummy coded columns: Every item in the set of all items has its own column, and the item name is the column name. For each transaction, the binominal values (true/false) indicate whether the item can be found in the basket.
Since the sample data is collected in the same day. I assume each line in raw data lists one item purchased by one customer, so I aggregated transactions by customer ID.Cheers,Spoiler<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><process
