We propose a non-iterative model search technique to find simple patterns of association for several variables. Our selection procedure is restricted to multiplicative models, therefore all patterns under consideration are interpretable in terms of zero partial associations of variable pairs. Wie illustrate the selection technique on two sets of data, one in a contingency table, one in a covariance matrix.
