1. In a computer system, having one or more processors or virtual machines, each processor comprising at least one core, one or more memory units, one or more input devices and one or more output devices, optionally a network, and optionally shared memory supporting communication among the processors, a method for automatically generating and testing a hypothesis from a data set comprising the steps of:

  • (a) selecting at least one informative combination of interacting features from a data set from the one or more memory units using a mutual information measure of the feature combination as the evaluation criterion;

    (b) building at least one graphical model from at least one informative combination of interacting features;

    (c) generating a hypothesis from at least one graphical model by optimizing a statistical measure associated with at least one state of at least one feature wherein the hypothesis is defined by at least one state associated with at least one feature from the data set; and

    (d) testing at least one hypothesis generated from substep (c) from at least one graphical model.
