Benchmarking the SelectBoost Package for Network Reverse Engineering

Overview

This vignette is a first benchmark of the use of the selectboost algorithm for stable and robust scale free network reverse engineering. It differs from the vignette Towards confidence estimates in Cascade Networks using the SelectBoost package where we compute confidence indices after the model was fitted. In this vignette, we use the Selecboost algorithm as a part of the inference algorithm in order to retrieve the most stable and robust links (against correlated resampling) between the genes of the network.

If you are a Linux/Unix or a Macos user, you can install a version of SelectBoost with support for doMC from github with:

devtools::install_github("fbertran/SelectBoost", ref = "doMC")

Since the simulation time is quite large, we shipped the results with the package as an example dataset. We provide the code to rerun the simulations at the end of the vignette.

Plots created for the article.

The following allows to reproduce some the figures of the article Aouadi et al. (2018), <arXiv:1810.01670>. The remaining code to create the datasets saved with the package is reproduced at the end of the vignette.

Retrieve the results

Some simulation results were stored in the results_simuls_reverse_engineering_v3 dataset provided with the package.
