a The Rule ID is composed by the table number followed by a dot and the rule number.

b The covering is the fraction of examples in the training set that verify the rule and belong to the target class.

C The error is the fraction of examples in the training set that satisfy the rule and do not belong to the target class.

d Fisher p-value quantifies the statistical significance of the rule.

e Stability measures the fraction of the occurrences of a given rule in a 5 rounds of 10 fold cross validations.
