“…This direction is orthogonal to the study of the statistical validity of the results, which is our focus. Many works concentrate on the case of labeled transactional datasets (Terada et al, 2015(Terada et al, , 2013aPellegrina et al, 2019b;Hämäläinen, 2016;Pellegrina and Vandin, 2020;Papaxanthos et al, 2016;Minato et al, 2014;Llinares-López et al, 2015;Komiyama et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2016;Duivesteijn and Knobbe, 2011), where each transaction comes with a binary label.
