[scikit-learn] Jeff Levesque: association rules

[Joel Nothman]

We have definitely discussed association rules in issues before. It's
considered out of scope for scikit-learn, except insofar as it is used for
learning classification. We haven't yet been convinced that classifiers
based on associative learning have enough practical demand to justify their
maintenance in the project. Then again, we have not had a pull request
implementing any such algorithms; there seems to be demand mostly for the
vanilla association rule mining algorithms. They are definitely out of
scope for scikit-learn.
