<div><br></div>
<div>When running sequential association rules I get several values in the output:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
<div> Rules Support Conf Lift Standardlift JMeasure ImplicStat p.value</div>
<div>1 (I1) => (I2) 15 0.7142857 0.7482993 -1.1607143 0.45894146 -0.9770084 0.1642825</div>

<div id="mb-reply">From here I understand what support, confidence, and lift are:</div>

</div>
<div id="mb-reply"><br></div>
<div id="mb-reply">However, what does the p-value mean? It seems to be highly and negatively correlated with the confidence, but at the same time I have many sequences with combinations high support, confidence, and lift that still are insignificant.</div>
<div id="mb-reply"><br></div>
<div id="mb-reply">Hence: what does the p-value pertain to? Can the rules be meaningfully interpreted even with the p-value is insignificant?</div>
