Halla
Description
HAllA (Hierarchical All-against-All association) is a method for finding blocks of associated features in high-dimensional datasets measured from a common set of samples. HAllA operates by 1) optionally discretizing mixed continuous and categorical features to a uniform representation, 2) hierarchically clustering each dataset separately to generate a pair of data hierarchies, 3) performing all-against-all association testing between features across two datasets using robust measures of correlation, 4) determining the statistical significance of individual associations by permutation testing, and 5) iteratively subdividing the space of significant all-against-all correlations into blocks of densely associated occurring as clusters in the original datasets.
