MINE Can Analyse Your Datasets In A Great Way!


New statistical software tool called MINE developed by researchers of Broad Institute and Harvard University can analyse large data sets in a unique way that no other software program can do. 

This software program, can search the data sets with great speed and detect different kinds of patterns in large data collections. 

Broad Institute associate member Pardis Sabeti, senior author of the paper and an assistant professor at the Center for Systems Biology at Harvard University said:
"There are massive data sets that we want to explore, and within them, there may be many relationships that we want to understand. The human eye is the best way to find these relationships, but these data sets are so vast that we can't do that. This toolkit gives us a way of mining the data to look for relationships."

MINE can detect hidden patterns in health information from around the globe. This analytical toolkit was tested on many data sets by the researchers.

Michael Mitzenmacher, a senior author of the paper and professor of computer science at Harvard University said:
"The goal of this statistic is to take data with a lot of different dimensions and many possible correlations and pick out the top ones," "We view this as an exploration tool -- it can find patterns and rank them in an equitable way."

Researchers are excited on what can be done with the tool while analyzing real life data sets.
