I am working with basket analisys. I am already generating the binomial format using other programs.

What RM operator can I use to transform the dataset from this format:

1,3
2,3,4
1,2,3

to this:

1,0,1,0
0,1,1,1
1,1,1,0

Thanks in advance :)

    Hi,
    your data format is called dense, because it only saves the indices of the columns unequal 0. RapidMiner supports a dense format, but it slightly differs from yours. If you could bring your data in the following format, you can easily load it:
    1:1 3:1
    2:1 3:1 4:1
    1:1 2:1 3:1

    If you then use the operator SparseFormatExampleSource with the parameter format set to no_label and the parameter dimension set to the number of dimensions (the highest number occuring in your file) then it works.

    Greetings,

    I am starting with market basket, so I have been practicing with datasets available in the internet.
    I have used the 'retail' data set available at http://fimi.cs.helsinki.fi/data/retail.dat, which is in the dense format.

    But since I will get my own data from a friend's shop, my question is:

    What is the best format for a market basket analysis with RM?


    Thanks

    PS: I will probaly use Apriori and FPGrowth.
