contents Pattern discovery plays a central role in both descriptive and predictive tasks across multiple domains. Actionable patterns must meet rigorous statistical significance criteria and, in the presence of target variables, further uphold discriminative power. Our work addresses the underexplored area of guiding pattern discovery by integrating statistical significance and discriminative power criteria into state-of-the-art algorithms while preserving pattern quality. We also address how pattern quality thresholds, imposed by some algorithms, can be rectified to accommodate these additional criteria. To test the proposed methodology, we select the triclustering task as the guiding pattern discovery case and extend well-known greedy and multi-objective optimization triclustering algorithms, $δ$-Trimax and TriGen, that use various pattern quality criteria, such as Mean Squared Residual (MSR), Least Squared Lines (LSL), and Multi Slope Measure (MSL). Results from three case studies show the role of the proposed methodology in discovering patterns with pronounced improvements of discriminative power and statistical significance without quality deterioration, highlighting its importance in supervisedly guiding the search. Although the proposed methodology is motivated over multivariate time series data, it can be straightforwardly extended to pattern discovery tasks involving multivariate, N-way (N>3), transactional, and sequential data structures.
