*Imagine 10000 receipts sitting on your table. Each receipt represents a transaction with items that were purchased. The receipt is a representation of stuff that went into a customer’s basket - and therefore ‘Market Basket Analysis’.
That is exactly what the Groceries Data Set contains: a collection of receipts with each line representing 1 receipt and the items purchased. Each line is called a transaction and each column in a row represents an item. The data set is attached.
Your assignment is to use R to mine the data for association rules. You should report support, confidence and lift and your top 10 rules by lift.
Extra credit: do a simple cluster analysis on the data as well. Use whichever packages you like. Due May 3 before midnight.*

Performing a simply cluster analysis on the dataset with variables frequency equal to or greater than 5%. We use the dissimilarity function of teh arules library to perform the analysis.
df <- df[,itemFrequency(df) >= 0.05]
cluster <- dissimilarity(df, which = 'items')
plot(hclust(cluster, method = 'ward.D2'))
