I want to go for market basket analysis on my products data but I'm bound to use R 3.3.0 version. I am aware of the package 'arules' but it works for R >=3.4.0. I have around 20 columns, each of them representing a product and the cells contain 0 or 1 depending on whether a customer has bought a product. How can I convert these columns into transactions in order to use package 'arulesNBMiner'. Also, is there any other package that can be used in my case?

One option is to convert it to a list and then use as
as(as.list(df1), "transactions")
data
set.seed(24)
df1 <- as.data.frame(matrix(sample(0:1, 10 * 20, replace = TRUE), ncol = 20))

Yes, I tried that. It gives an error- no method or default for coercing “list” to “transactions” – Renuka Deshpande Feb 21 '18 at 06:10

@RenukaDeshpande It is working for me. The `arulesNBMiner` loads `arules` package – akrun Feb 21 '18 at 06:10

@RenukaDeshpande Try to install the `arules` by `library(versions); install.versions('arules', '1.5-5')` – akrun Feb 21 '18 at 06:12

It loads arulesNBMiner, but not arules for me. It says- Loading required package: arules Error: This is R 3.3.0, package ‘arules’ needs >= 3.4.0 In addition: Warning message: package ‘arulesNBMiner’ was built under R version 3.3.3 – Renuka Deshpande Feb 21 '18 at 06:13

@RenukaDeshpande I think the arules is not loaded bcz you have a previous R version. One option is to update to new R version. If that is not possible, install the package `versions` and then do `install.versions('arules', '1.5-5')` – akrun Feb 21 '18 at 06:14

install_version('arules' , '1.5-5') is also not working. – Renuka Deshpande Feb 21 '18 at 06:17

@RenukaDeshpande It should be `install.versions` – akrun Feb 21 '18 at 06:22

It was installed with a warning that package ‘arules’ is not available for R version 3.3.0. Is there any package other than arules that can be used for market basket analysis? – Renuka Deshpande Feb 21 '18 at 06:31

@RenukaDeshpande If 1.5-5` is not available, then try for the earlier version i.e. `1.5-4` – akrun Feb 21 '18 at 06:32

@RenukaDeshpande Have you tried that? – akrun Feb 21 '18 at 06:37
