Hello everyone,

 

I'm using SAS Base/ SAS Enterprise Guide and I'm stuck.
I need to create the Association Rules matrix to calculate the support, lift, confidence and other association metrics.

 

My table is similar to: (one line per client with all the products associated to)

data test;
input item1 item2 item3 item4 ;
datalines ;
1 0 1 0
1 1 1 0
1 0 1 0
1 0 1 1
;

As you know for the market basket analysis I want something like that:

          item1 item2 item3 item4

item1   4         1       4        1

item2   1         1       1        0

item3    4        1       4        1

item4    1         0      4        4

 

Thank you for your help.

Here's a nifty little trick using PROC CORR:

 

data test;
input item1 item2 item3 item4 ;
datalines ;
1 0 1 0
1 1 1 0
1 0 1 0
1 0 1 1
;

ods output sscp=want;
proc corr data=test sscp;
var item1-item4;
run;

proc print data=want;
run;

PS. Thank you for providing sample data as a data step!
