Tuning minSupport in Association Rule Learner (Borgelt)

@Luisa_introuble welcome to the KNIME forum. The confusion might arise from the use of variables (that is “Flow Variables” in the case of KNIME).

The “Double Configuration” would create a Flow variable called “minSupport” and this variable is then fed into the Rule Learner; the use of the variable is indicated at the bottom “… is controlled by a variable” - this means the Minimum Support of 10 which you see is in reality the 2.5 you have configured. You can see this on the “Flow Variables” tab. The variables would overrule what is present in the node configuration.
