A reaction set that form a system can be modeled mathematically in different ways such as boolean, ordinary differential equations and stochastic modellings. Among them the random system is merely taken into account by the stochastic approach that is based on the known number of molecules in the reactions and if we consider the behaviour of the system under steady state condition, the modelling can be done via deterministic methods such as the ordinary differential equation. In this thesis, firstly, we aim to estimate the model parameters of a realistically complex biochemical system that is modelled to describe the steady state behaviour of the system. Among alternatives, we implement the Gaussian graphical models (GGM) which is one of the well known probabilistic model in this class. Here initially we develope an alternative approach of GGM in nonparametric distribution. For this purpose, we suggest LMARS (lasso-type multivariate adaptive regression spline) method. Then, we propose a normalization step called Bernstein polynomials for raw data to improve the performance of these models. Finally we suggest another alternative of GGM in parametric class and infer the model parameter via a novel estimation method, called the MMLE (modified maximum likelihood estimator). We evaluate all over findings with simulated and real data compute their accuracies as well as computational time behaviour of the system.

Different types of Bernstein operators in inference of Gaussian graphical model
Agraz, Melih; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (2016-01-01)
The Gaussian graphical model (GGM) is a powerful tool to describe the relationship between the nodes via the inverse of the covariance matrix in a complex biological system. But the inference of this matrix is problematic because of its high dimension and sparsity. From previous analyses, it has been shown that the Bernstein and Szasz polynomials can improve the accuracy of the estimate if they are used in advance of the inference as a processing step of the data. Hereby in this study, we consider whether a...
Studies on the generalized and reverse generalized bessel polynomials
Polat, Zeynep Sonay; Taşeli, Hasan; Department of Mathematics (2004)
The special functions and, particularly, the classical orthogonal polynomials encountered in many branches of applied mathematics and mathematical physics satisfy a second order differential equation, which is known as the equation of the hypergeometric type. The variable coefficients in this equation of the hypergeometric type are of special structures. Depending on the coefficients the classical orthogonal polynomials associated with the names Jacobi, Laguerre and Hermite can be derived as solutions of th...
NEW FAMILY OF MODAL METHODS FOR CALCULATING EIGENVECTOR DERIVATIVES
AKGUN, MA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 1994-02-01)
A new family of modal methods for the calculation of eigenvector derivatives in non-self-adjoint systems with a singular coefficient matrix is developed. The family contains the modal and modified modal methods as a subset. In the family, the component of the mth eigenvector in the expansion of the derivative of the jth eigenvector is multiplied by various powers of the eigenvalue ratio lambda(i)/lambda(m), thereby accelerating convergence. The family of methods is applied to a self-adjoint example problem,...
ACCURATE COMPUTATION OF THE ENERGY-SPECTRUM FOR POTENTIALS WITH MULTIMINIMA
Taşeli, Hasan (Wiley, 1993-01-01)
The eigenvalues of the Schrodinger equation with a polynomial potential are calculated accurately by means of the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method and a basis set of functions satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions. The method is applied to the well potentials having one, two, and three minima. It is shown, in the entire range of coupling constants, that the basis set of trigonometric functions has the capability of yielding the energy spectra of unbounded problems without any loss of convergence providin...
A model for the computation of quantum billiards with arbitrary shapes
Erhan, Inci M.; Taşeli, Hasan (Elsevier BV, 2006-10-01)
An expansion method for the stationary Schrodinger equation of a three-dimensional quantum billiard system whose boundary is defined by an arbitrary analytic function is introduced. The method is based on a coordinate transformation and an expansion in spherical harmonics. The effectiveness is verified and confirmed by a numerical example, which is a billiard system depending on a parameter.
