Among the techniques for analyzing big data, the association rule mining is a technique for searching for relationship between some items using various relevance evaluation criteria. This associative rule scheme is based on the direction of rule creation, and there are positive, negative, and inverse association rules. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the applicability of various types of relatively causal strength measures to the types of association rules from the point of view of interestingness measure. We also clarify the relationship between various types of confidence measures. As a result, if the rate of occurrence of the posterior item is more than 0.5, the first measure ($RCS_{IJ1}$) proposed by Good (1961) is more preferable to the first measure ($RCS_{LR1}$) proposed by Lewis (1986) because the variation of the value is larger than that of $RCS_{LR1}$, and if the ratio is less than 0.5, $RCS_{LR1}$ is more preferable to $RCS_{IJ1}$.
