What is support?
Support: In association rules, the fraction of all recorded transactions that contain a given set of items. It shows how common a pattern is, and rules with very low values are usually ignored as too rare to trust.
Support: an example
If 200 of 1,000 baskets contain both tea and biscuits, support is 0.2.
