In the description of biological networks, a number of modeling approaches has been suggested based on different assumptions. The major problems in these models and their associated inference approaches are the complexity of biological systems, resulting in high number of model parameters, few observations from each variable in the system, their sparse structures, and high correlation between model parameters. From recent studies, it has been seen that the nonparametric methods can ameliorate these challenges and be one of the strong alternative approaches. Furthermore, it has been observed that not only the regression type of nonparametric models but also nonparametric clustering methods whose calculations are adapted to the biochemical systems can be another promising choice. Hereby, in this study, we propose the classification and regression tree (CART) method as a new approach in the construction of the complex systems when the system’s activity is described under its steady-state condition. Basically, CART is a classification technique for highly correlated data and can be represented as the nonparametric version of the generalized additive model. In this work, we use CART in the construction of biological modules and then networks. We analyze the performance of CART comprehensively under various Monte Carlo scenarios such as different data distributions and dimensions. We compare our results with the outputs of the Gaussian graphical model (GGM) which is the most well-known model under the given condition of the system. In our study, we also evaluate the performance of CART with the GGM findings by using real systems. For this purpose, we choose the pathways which have a crucial role on the cervical cancer. In the analyses, we consider this particular illness since it is the second most common cancer type in women both in Turkey and in the world after the breast cancer, and there is only a limited information for the description of this complex system disease.

Modeling, inference and optimization of regulatory networks based on time series data
Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; DEFTERLİ, ÖZLEM; ALPARSLAN GÖK, Sırma Zeynep; Kropat, Erik (2011-05-16)
In this survey paper, we present advances achieved during the last years in the development and use of OR, in particular, optimization methods in the new gene-environment and eco-finance networks, based on usually finite data series, with an emphasis on uncertainty in them and in the interactions of the model items. Indeed, our networks represent models in the form of time-continuous and time-discrete dynamics, whose unknown parameters we estimate under constraints on complexity and regularization by variou...
Learning by optimization in random neural networks
Atalay, Mehmet Volkan (1998-10-28)
The random neural network model proposed by Gelenbe has a number of interesting features in addition to a well established theory. Gelenbe has also developed a learning algorithm for the recurrent random network model using gradient descent of a quadratic error function. We present a quadratic optimization approach for learning in the random neural network, particularly for image texture reconstruction.
Analysis and prediction of gene expression patterns by dynamical systems, and by a combinatorial algorithm
Taştan, Mesut; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Department of Scientific Computing (2005)
Modeling and prediction of gene-expression patterns has an important place in computational biology and bioinformatics. The measure of gene expression is determined from the genomic analysis at the mRNA level by means of microarray technologies. Thus, mRNA analysis informs us not only about genetic viewpoints of an organism but also about the dynamic changes in environment of that organism. Different mathematical methods have been developed for analyzing experimental data. In this study, we discuss the mode...
Application of impulsive deterministic simulation of biochemical networks via simulation tools
Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (2017-01-01)
In order to understand the possible behaviour of biochemical networks, deterministic and stochastic simulation methods have been developed. However in some cases, these methods should be broaden. For oxii.rupie, if the biochemical system is subjected to the unexpected effects causing abrupt changes in the network, the ordinary simulation algorithms cannot capture these impulsive expressions. In 1.1) is study, we select, 1.1 ic simulations lools. specifically, CO PA ST and Systems Biology Toolbox for MATLAR ...
