• Data: To perform market basket analysis, businesses require transactional data containing information like customer ID,
product ID, and transaction date. This data is used to build a matrix that maps the relationships between various
products, revealing patterns in customer purchasing behavior.
• Association Rules: Association rules help gauge the strength of relationships between products, using metrics like
support, confidence, and lift. Support indicates how often items appear together, confidence measures the likelihood of
buying one item given another, and lift shows the correlation strength between two items.
• Applications: Market Basket Analysis is widely used across industries like retail, e-commerce, and marketing. Retailers
leverage it to improve product placement and promotions, e-commerce platforms use it for personalized
recommendations, and marketers apply it to create targeted ad campaigns.
• Benefits: Market Basket Analysis boosts revenue by uncovering cross-selling opportunities and enabling targeted
promotions. It also enhances customer satisfaction through personalized recommendations, creating a better shopping
experience.
