A consensus structure inference algorithm
David Chiu · 2002
The notion of consensus structure, a special form of random graph, is formally defined. The consensus structure represents an extended higher-order representation of the random n-tuple for statistical and structural pattern recognition. An algorithm inferring the consensus structure from a random n-tuple is designed based on the detection of statistical interdependency under certain structural constraints. In applying structural constraints, a circular diagram indicating variable interaction is used to extract global structural features in a macromolecular modeling problem.>
