An unsupervised algorithm for mining FCGs mapped from miRNA co-expression networks

Input: An FCG = (V, , Ω), a lower density threshold = δlower and a density decay constant ξ.

Output: A set of k number of PMs {}.

Formal steps:

1: Set t ← 0

2: Set δt ← 1

3: while δt ≥ δlower do

4: Find the largest PM, , from with respect to the association density δt

5: if ≠ ɸ then

6: V ← V -

7:

8: end if

9: t ← t + 1

10: δt ← δt(1 - ξ)

11: end while

12: k ← t
