The Gaussian Graphical Model (GGM) is one of the well-known deterministic inference methods which is based on the conditional independency of nodes in the system. In this study we consider to implement this approach in small and relatively large networks under different singularity and sparsity conditions. In inference of these systems we perform lasso and L-1 penalized lasso regression approaches and select the best ﬁtted model to the data by using different criteria. Among many alternatives, we apply the F-measure, false positive rate, precision, and recall measures as well as cross validation method in Monte Carlo runs. According to the results of their accuracies and computational time, we choose the best criterion for the inference of realistically complex systems such as the JAK-STAT pathway. In the calculation in case we can face with singularity problem, we evaluate the performance of a recently developed technique for the matrix decompositions. This novel approach also enables us to deal with the computational problems caused by the sparsity of the networks. Finally, apart from the current model selection approaches in the GGM ﬁeld, we investigate other plausible alternatives for this type of inference problems.

Exact stochastic simulation algorithms and impulses in biological systems Altıntan, Derya; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (2018-01-01) The stochastic model is the only sort of expressions which can capture the randomness of biological systems under different reactions. There are mainly three methods; Gillespie, first reaction and next reaction algorithms; for implementing exact stochastic simulations in these systems. Although these algorithms are successful in explaining the natural behaviors of the systems’ activation, they cannot describe the absurd changes, i.e., impulses. Moreover, the source codes in R are not available and open fo...
Loop-based conic multivariate adaptive regression splines is a novel method for advanced construction of complex biological networks Ayyıldız Demirci, Ezgi; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2018-11-01) The Gaussian Graphical Model (GGM) and its Bayesian alternative, called, the Gaussian copula graphical model (GCGM) are two widely used approaches to construct the undirected networks of biological systems. They define the interactions between species by using the conditional dependencies of the multivariate normality assumption. However, when the system's dimension is high, the performance of the model becomes computationally demanding, and, particularly, the accuracy of GGM decreases when the observations...
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS AND TESTING OF A FULLY DISCRETE, DECOUPLED PENALTY-PROJECTION ALGORITHM FOR MHD IN ELSASSER VARIABLE AKBAŞ, MİNE; Kaya Merdan, Songül; MOHEBUJJAMAN, Muhammed; rebholz, leo (2016-01-01) We consider a fully discrete, efficient algorithm for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow that is based on the Elsasser variable formulation and a timestepping scheme that decouples the MHD system but still provides unconditional stability with respect to the timestep. We prove stability and optimal convergence of the scheme, and also connect the scheme to one based on handling each decoupled system with a penalty-projection method. Numerical experiments are given which verify all predicted convergence rates of ...
Comparison of two inference approaches in Gaussian graphical models Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Wit, Ernst (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017-04-01) Introduction: The Gaussian Graphical Model (GGM) is one of the well-known probabilistic models which is based on the conditional independency of nodes in the biological system. Here, we compare the estimates of the GGM parameters by the graphical lasso (glasso) method and the threshold gradient descent (TGD) algorithm.
Multisymplectic Schemes for the Complex Modified Korteweg-de Vries Equation AYDIN, AYHAN; Karasözen, Bülent (2008-09-20) In this paper, the multisymplectic formulation of the CMKdV(complex modified Korteweg-de Vries equation) is derived. Based on the multisymplectic formulation, the eight-point multisymplectic Preissman scheme and a linear-nonlinear multisymplectic splitting scheme are developed. Both methods are compared numerically with respect to the conservation of local and global quantities of the CMKdV equation.
