Name-Blind Variable-Role Detection by Data Signature

v0.1.0 · Jun 22, 2026 · Apache License (== 2.0)

Description

Deterministic, name-blind detection of variable roles (group, outcome, survival time and event, paired and agreement measurements, repeated measures, scale items, subject identifier, covariate) in tabular data. Roles are assigned from each column's information-theoretic signature -- Shannon entropy, normalized mutual information, and distributional shape -- rather than from column names, so renaming columns to 'col_1', 'col_2', ... does not change the result ("Data inspice, non nomen"). An optional, capped name-based hint and automatic header-row detection are also provided. No large language models and no external data transmission. Extracted from the 'MDStatR' biostatistics engine; see Boynukara (2026) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.20707791>.
