Market Basket Analysis (MBA) is a data mining technique used to discover relationships between items that are frequently purchased together. At its core, MBA aims to identify patterns of co-occurrence in transactional data, helping businesses understand customer purchasing habits. Imagine a retailer wanting to know which products customers tend to buy in the same shopping trip; MBA provides the tools to uncover these associations. This understanding can then fuel smarter marketing campaigns, optimized product placements, and more effective inventory management.
