itemFrequency {arules} | R Documentation

## Getting Frequency/Support for Single Items

### Description

Provides the generic function `itemFrequency` and S4 methods to get the frequency/support for all single items in an objects based on `itemMatrix`. For example, it is used to get the single item support from an object of class `transactions` without mining.

### Usage

    itemFrequency(x, ...)

    ## S4 method for signature 'itemMatrix'
    itemFrequency(x, type, weighted = FALSE)

### Arguments

`x` | an object.
`...` | further arguments are passed on.
`type` | a character string specifying if `"relative"` frequency/support or `"absolute"` frequency/support (item counts) is returned. (default: `"relative"`).
`weighted` | should support be weighted by transactions weights stored as column `"weight"` in transactionInfo?

### Value

`itemFrequency` returns a named numeric vector. Each element is the frequency/support of the corresponding item in object `x`. The items appear in the vector in the same order as in the binary matrix in `x`.
