Abstract—The construction of biological networks has certain challenges due to its high dimension, sparse structure and very limited number of observations. Thus, specific modeling approaches have been suggested to deal with these problems such as Gaussian graphical model, loop-based multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) with/without interaction effects and Gaussian copula graphical model. From previous analyses via these methods, it has been shown that they can successfully estimate the systems with comparative accuracies. Hereby, in this study, as the novelty we use all these complex mathematical models in inference of gynecological cancer networks whose target genes are gathered from biological literature. The observations for these target genes are collected from the ArrayExpress database with other associated risk factors such as stage of the cancers which are denoted by categorical variables. Then, under different dimensions of systems, sample sizes and measurement types, we compare the performance of all models with the criteria of accuracy and F-measure. From the results, we observe that the suggested models can successfully estimate the real cancer systems under different conditions and are promising approaches to describe the complexity in biological networks.

Estimation of earthquake hazard based on extremes of local integral random functions Akkaya, Ayşen; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (2000-09-01) A random field model is developed for the occurrence of earthquakes in the space-time domain based on the theory of random functions. The seismic hazard posed by earthquakes is estimated by applying the level crossing theory to local integral random functions. Analysis of the correlation structure of the strain energy random field associated with the proposed model is described by utilizing the concepts of variance function and scale of fluctuation. The earthquake occurrence rates obtained in the study diff...
Investigation of seismic isolation efficiency for building structures Özdemir, Seda; Yakut, Ahmet; Ay, Bekir Özer; Department of Earthquake Studies (2016) The main goal of this study is to assess the efﬁcacy of seismic isolation for building type of structures with different structural systems, namely, dual systems and moment frame systems having also different number of ﬂoors. Speciﬁc to this study, the main parameters employed for efﬁcacy assessment will be the interstorey drift ratio and ﬂoor acceleration since both structural and non-structural damage to be occured in a system are directly related to these two parameters. To assess the variations in inter...
Implementation of physical boundary conditions into computational domain in modelling of oscillatory bottom boundary layers Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Yılmaz, Bilgi (Wiley, 2010-11-30) This paper discusses the importance of realistic implementation of the physical boundary conditions into computational domain for the simulation of the oscillatory turbulent boundary layer flow over smooth and rough flat beds. A mathematical model composed of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equation, turbulent kinetic energy (k) and dissipation rate of the turbulent kinetic energy (epsilon) has been developed. Control-volume approach is used to discretize the governing equations to facilitate the numeri...
Detection of the distribution and parameter estimation for the departing connectivity in biological networks Odunsi, Omolola Dorcas; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Department of Statistics (2014) The connectivity density is one of the characteristics features in the topology of the network. This density describes the total number of the in-degree and out-degree of a node in a system. In a network, the in-degree or arriving connectivity represents the number of links coming to a target gene and the out-degree or departing connectivity stands for the number of links departing from the target gene. For biological networks, the density of the in-degree is represented by the exponential distribution and ...
