Figure 1. An example labelled Hasse diagram.
The ellipses in the labelled Hasse diagram (LHD) demonstrate near dependencies and any variables not involved in a linear dependency are displayed as squares. The rank of each subset (illustrated on the left of the LHD) demonstrates the dimensionality of the flat. Lines between objects are used to show the sources of any dependency. An measure is displayed in brackets alongside each variable to demonstrate the fit to the flat in which it is assigned. Abbreviations: Fasting insulin (Ins), postchallenge insulin (PCIns), fasting glucose (Glu), postchallenge glucose (PCGlu), body mass index (BMI), waist/hip ratio (WHR), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), triglycerides (Trig), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
