Abstract
An apparatus, and related method, for identifying one or more association variables that are associated with a trait are described. During the method, the apparatus may calculate statistical relationships corresponding to a pattern of occurrence of the trait in a group of life forms and patterns of occurrence of compound variables in a set of biological variables of the group of life forms. Then, the apparatus may determine a ranking of a number of occurrences of biological variables in at least a subset of the compound variables that have statistical relationships greater than a statistical confidence value. Next, the apparatus may identify one or more of the biological variables in the set of biological variables as the one or more association variables based on the ranking.
