Description

Default wrapper function for the GeneNet network inference algorithm

Usage

1

Arguments

data

Numeric matrix with the microarray dataset to infer the network. Columns contain variables and rows contain samples.

Details

GeneNEt uses an heuristic for learning statistically a causal network. It relies on a conversion of a network inferred through correlation into a partial correlation graph. Then, a partial ordering of the nodes is assigned by means of a multiple testing of the log-ratio of standardized partial variances. This allows identifying a directed acyclic causal network as a sub-graph of the partial correlation network.

Value

GeneNet.wrap The function returns a matrix which is the weighted adjacency matrix of the network inferred by GeneNet algorithm. The shrinkage method used to estimate the partial correlation matrix is "static". - see ggm.estimate.pcor. The probability threshold is set to 0.8. - see ggm.estimate.pcor.
