Market Basket Analysis

We have released a Notebook to achieve Market basket Analysis for any brand. The notebook is attached with this mail and can be imported into Zepplin. Apriori Algorithm is used. For further details for this please reach out to @Varun Veddu  or @Jyotiska Bhattacharjee.

In market basket analysis (also called association analysis or frequent itemset mining), you analyze purchases that commonly happen together. For
example, people who buy bread and peanut butter also buy jelly. Or people who buy shampoo might also buy conditioner. What relationships there are between items is the target of the analysis. Knowing what your customers tend to buy together can help with marketing efforts and store/website layout.

External Data Ingestion in Zepplin

We have released support to ingest external data in Zepplin. This would allow to reduce dependency on Qubole and allow adhoc analysis on external data. Details of the same can be found here.
