Here is another nice page showing a simpler case, the one known as association rules - market basket analysis: http://www.rdatamining.com/examples/association-rules
This is not related with R, but a really interesting paper about how Amazon works on item-to-item collaborative filtering: http://www.cs.umd.edu/~samir/498/Amazon-Recommendations.pdf
A really challenging objective since they process all the information on-demand to give recommendations in real time.
