### Measuring the "interestingly" of association rules

The Apriori algorithm usually results in many association rules being learned. This requires to filter the rules by "interestingly". However, it is not easy to determine, whether a rule is interesting, or not. To measure the interestingly of rules additional metrics beside support and confidence - namely lift and leverage - can be used. They are defined as follows:

However, it is not easy to determine, whether a rule is interesting, or not. To measure the interestingly of rules additional metrics beside support and confidence - namely lift, leverage and conviction - can be used. They are defined as follows:

* **Lift (also refered to as "interest"):** The ratio of a rule's confidence over a priori expectation for the head \[2\].
* **Leverage:** The difference between support and expected support, if the rule's body and head were independent \[3\].
