Summary
HNet stands for graphical Hypergeometric Networks, which is a method where associations across variables are tested for significance by statistical inference. The aim is to determine a network with significant associations that can shed light on the complex relationships across variables. Input datasets can range from generic dataframes to nested data structures with lists, missing values and enumerations.
Real-world data often contain measurements with both continuous and discrete values. Despite the availability of many libraries, data sets with mixed data types require intensive pre-processing steps, and it remains a challenge to describe the relationships between variables. The data understanding phase is crucial to the data-mining process, however, without making any assumptions on the data, the search space is super-exponential in the number of variables. A thorough data understanding phase is therefore not common practice.
Methods
We propose graphical hypergeometric networks (HNet
), a method to test associations across variables for significance using statistical inference. The aim is to determine a network using only the significant associations in order to shed light on the complex relationships across variables. HNet processes raw unstructured data sets and outputs a network that consists of (partially) directed or undirected edges between the nodes (i.e., variables). To evaluate the accuracy of HNet, we used well known data sets and generated data sets with known ground truth. In addition, the performance of HNet is compared to Bayesian association learning.
Results
We demonstrate that HNet showed high accuracy and performance in the detection of node links. In the case of the Alarm data set we can demonstrate on average an MCC score of 0.33 + 0.0002 (P<1x10-6), whereas Bayesian association learning resulted in an average MCC score of 0.52 + 0.006 (P<1x10-11), and randomly assigning edges resulted in a MCC score of 0.004 + 0.0003 (P=0.49).
Conclusions
HNet overcomes processes raw unstructured data sets, it allows analysis of mixed data types, it easily scales up in number of variables, and allows detailed examination of the detected associations.

Example: Summarize results
Networks can become giant hairballs and heatmaps unreadable. You may want to see the general associations between the categories, instead of the label-associations. With the summarize functionality, the results will be summarized towards categories.
