US Patent 8,386,190. System and method for identifying networks of ternary relationships in complex data systems. Inventor: Ker-Chau Li.
Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
This patent is for a system and method of "identifying high order associations between variables in complex systems that is particularly useful where there is no correlation or weak correlation between variables due to the influence of a third variable, a ternary relationship." According to the abstract, the method could be used to analyze gene expression data.
