As I understand it they are statistics that you could use to sift your rules. One of the the problems with Association Rule Mining is that you may end up with more rules than examples ( as an example could support more than one frequent item set ), so sifting through the sh.. becomes important.
You can see all the statistics of your rule set by converting them to examples. You may find it useful to cannibalise this process, hope so!
