Filtering with support and conviction

In the video, we discussed the continued consulting work you are doing for the founder of an ebook selling start-up. The founder has approached you with the DataFrame rules, which contains the work of a data scientist who was previously on staff. It includes columns for antecedents and consequents, along with the performance for each of those rules with respect to a number of metrics.

Your objective will be to perform multi-metric filtering on the dataset to identify potentially useful rules. Note that pandas is available as pd and numpy as np. Additionally, rules has been defined and is available.
