Association rules can be built from attribute-value dataset, which is re-coded as binary table. In certain cases, we have a transaction dataset, which is already a binary table. It is not necessary to re-code this one. How to handle this kind of dataset?
TANAGRA can handle only attribute-value dataset: the absence of one item in a transaction is coded as 0, other values are seeing as a presence (1 value if the file is correctly encoded).
