Creating transactions with temporal information

In addition to mining interesting associations within the transaction database, we can mine interesting sequential patterns using transactions with temporal information. In the following recipe, we demonstrate how to create transactions with temporal information.

Getting ready

In this recipe, we will generate transactions with temporal information. We can use the generated transactions as the input source for frequent sequential pattern mining.
