This is the instruction for running this code:

Requirements:

python>=3.7
numpy
matplotlib

To install required packages, run the command below:

pip install -r requirements.txt

To generate rules using the Apriori algorithm, run the command below:

python3 hcrules.py --min_sup min1 min2 min3 \
                    --min_conf minimum_confidence \
                    --input_file /path/to/your/input/file \
                    --output_file /path/to/your/output/file

where:
--min_sup: a integer number that is the minimum support count
--min_conf: a float number that is the minimum confidence of strong rule
--input_file: path to your input transaction
--output_file: path to your output file
