AScontrol-classes: Classes ``AScontrol'', ``APcontrol'', ``ECcontrol'' --- Specifying the `control' Argument of apriori() and eclat()

Description

The AScontrol class holds the algorithmic parameters for the used mining algorithms. APcontrol and ECcontrol directly extend AScontrol with additional slots for parameters only suitable for the algorithms Apriori (APcontrol) and Eclat (ECcontrol).

Objects from the Class

A suitable default control object will be automatically created by the apriori or the eclat function. By specifying a named list (names equal to slots) as control argument for the apriori or the eclat function, default values can be replaced by the values in the list. Objects can also be created by calls of the form new("APcontrol", ...) or new("ECcontrol", ...).
