Have a look at the following web sites:

Note that we have a journal club meeting next Thursday.

6 May 2004

Here is a description of your project.

For next week, read the following papers:

Butte AS, Kohane IS (2000)
Mutual information relevance networks: functional genomic clustering using pairwise entropy measurements
Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 5, 418-429
Friedman N, Linial M, Nachman I, Pe'er D (2000)
Using Bayesian Networks to Analyze Expression Data.
Journal of Computational Biology 7(3-4): 601-620

Also, have a look at the DRASTIC website and Gary Lyon's powerpoint presentation on DRASTIC.

Familiarize yourself with Kephin Murphy's Bayes Net Toolbox for Matlab.

Take one of the example networks you find in Laskey's and Myer's talk (start with a simple one, like the College network), generate data sets of different size from this network, and try to learn the network structure from the data. Compare the following two approaches:

Learning Bayesian networks with MCMC
Infer the network with mutual information relevance networks

Next meeting: Edinburgh, railway station, Wednesday 12 May.
Our train leaves at 8.10 a.m.; so let's meet at 8.00 a.m.
