cSPADE data mining in R using arulesSequences - Error while converting to “transactions” format

Question

I'm having trouble converting my data into cSPADE compatible format.

My data frame looks like-

  key type1 type2 type3 A-1 ABC B-2 PQ NA C-3 X NA NA 

When I use, dataset1<- as(dataset, "transactions") and run-

rules<- cspade(dataset1, parameter = list(support = 0.4), control = list(verbose = TRUE))

It throws an error - Error in cspade(dataset1, parameter = list(support = 0.4), control = list(verbose = TRUE)) : slot transactionInfo: missing 'sequenceID' or 'eventID'

Can anyone please help as to how can the above dataset be converted into the cSPADE compatible format?

Answer 1

itry with this:

source dataset in this format:

1 3 A B C
2 2 P Q    
3 1 X

the first column is for the id of sequence, the second columns is for the length of sequence and then the elements of sequences. Then:

data <- read_baskets(con = "./input_file.txt", info = c("sequenceID","eventID","SIZE"))
rules<- cspade(data, parameter = list(support = 0.4), control = list(verbose = TRUE))

let me know if this works.

This is my output:

parameter specification:
support : 0.4
maxsize :  10
maxlen  :  10

algorithmic control:
bfstype  : FALSE
verbose  :  TRUE
summary  : FALSE
tidLists : FALSE
