Market basket analysis, which is a method of discovering co-occurrence relationships, is widely used for the purposes of marketing research and e-commerce, mainly by supermarkets and online stores. Moving beyond the traditional notion of a market basket understood as a fixed list of products, the technique can be applied for data mining in other fields of research which do not involve traditional transactions and purchases made by customers. The following article describes theoretical aspects of market basket analysis with an illustrative application based on data from the National Census of Population and Housing 2011 with respect to marital status. This is the first application of market basket analysis to census data to be conducted in Poland, in which attributes of the market basket have been replaced with respondents’ demographic characteristics. This approach makes it possible to identify relationships between legal (de jure) marital status and actual (de facto) marital status, taking into account other basic socio-demographic variables available in large datasets. Using the R software to generate choropleth maps classified by province as a method of visualizing association rules, it was possible to conduct a spatial analysis of the phenomenon of interest.

W artykule przedstawiono możliwości i korzyści zastosowania metody analizy asocjacji, zaliczanej do metod eksploracji danych (ang. Data Mining), w zagadnieniach dotyczących wyborów przez studentów nieobowiązkowych zajęć dydaktycznych. Krótko opisano metodę analizy asocjacji i budowy reguł asocjacyjnych, szczególną uwagę poświęcając algorytmowi Apriori, jednemu z najpopularniejszych algorytmów analizy asocjacji i budowy reguł asocjacyjnych, w sposób uporządkowany i logiczny realizującemu potrzebne działania oraz przystępnie, przejrzyście i zrozumiale obrazującemu ideę analizy asocjacji i generowanie reguł asocjacyjnych. Rozważania zilustrowano przykładem wyboru przez studentów zajęć, spośród prowadzonych na Wydziale Nauk Ekonomicznych Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego we współpracy z SAS Institute Polska, w ramach ich cyklu o nazwie „Data Mining Certificate Program”. Wskazano, wraz z krótką wzmianką o jego działaniu, oprogramowanie wspomagające przeprowadzanie analizy asocjacji, tworzenie reguł asocjacyjnych i interpretację uzyskiwanych wyników – program SAS Enterprise Miner firmy SAS Institute Inc. z USA, wykorzystywany przez nas w zaprezentowanym w artykule zagadnieniu wyboru zajęć dydaktycznych przez studentów.

This article discusses the possibilities and advantages of the association analysis method, belonging to Data Mining, in problems relating to choices made by students from elective courses. Such choices are possible when students can freely choose several courses from separate groups of elective courses. The association analysis method and the construction of association rules are briefly described. Particular attention was paid to the Apriori algorithm. It constitutes one of the most popular algorithms for the association analysis and the construction of association rules. The Apriori algorithm in an orderly and logical manner performs necessary actions as well as accessibly, transparently and understandably reflects the concept of the association analysis and the construction of association rules. The considerations are illustrated using an example of choices made by students from elective courses conducted within the educational path called “Data Mining Certificate Program” at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, Univerity of Warsaw, in cooperation with SAS Institute Polska. The discussed issue of elective courses selection was explored using SAS Enterprise Miner software from SAS Institute Inc. U.S. – the article provides a very short presentation of its functionality, possibilities of performing the association analysis and the construction of association rules, as well as interpretation of the analysis results.
