FOUNDATIONS OF SEMIALGEBRAIC GENE-ENVIRONMENT NETWORKS
Kropat, Erik; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Tirkolaee, Erfan Babaee (2020-10-01)
Gene-environment network studies rely on data originating from different disciplines such as chemistry, biology, psychology or social sciences. Sophisticated regulatory models are required for a deeper investigation of the unknown and hidden functional relationships between genetic and environmental factors. At the same time, various kinds of uncertainty can arise and interfere with the system's evolution. The aim of this study is to go beyond traditional stochastic approaches and to propose a novel framewo...
