Histograms of dependency measures computed for various sets of tuples. Panel (a) shows distribution of mutual information values computed on all possible pairs of the entire set of genes (5,905 genes). Similarly, panel (b) shows Inline graphic values computed on all possible triplets of the set of genes involved in pairs with high MI (1051 genes involved in pairs that are above 20 standard deviations threshold). Selecting 279 variables from high Inline graphic triplets (above 1,000 st. dev.) and computing Inline graphic on all possible quads results in a distribution shown in panel (c). Finally, computing Inline graphic on all possible 5-variable tuples of 118 variables involved in high Inline graphic quads (above 55 st. dev.) results in a distribution shown in panel (d). Each panel is composed of three subpanels showing the original distribution, its magnified tail, and the distribution in the log-scale (from top down). The red vertical lines show the minimal and maximal values of each distribution, the green lines show three st. dev. from the mean, and the pink lines show the thresholds used for selecting the informative tuples at each step.
