General Additive Network Effect Models

Additive Belief-Network Models

The inherent intractability of probabilistic in­ ference has hindered the application of be­ lief networks to large domains. Noisy OR­ gates [30] and probabilistic similarity net­ works [18, 17) escape the complexity of infer­ ence by restricting model expressiveness. Re­ cent work in the application of belief-network models to time-series analysis and forecasting [9, 10) has given rise to the ...

Network Reconstruction Using Nonparametric Additive ODE Models

Network representations of biological systems are widespread and reconstructing unknown networks from data is a focal problem for computational biologists. For example, the series of biochemical reactions in a metabolic pathway can be represented as a network, with nodes corresponding to metabolites and edges linking reactants to products. In a different context, regulatory relationships among ...

Additive Functions in Boolean Models of Gene Regulatory Network Modules

Gene-on-gene regulations are key components of every living organism. Dynamical abstract models of genetic regulatory networks help explain the genome's evolvability and robustness. These properties can be attributed to the structural topology of the graph formed by genes, as vertices, and regulatory interactions, as edges. Moreover, the actual gene interaction of each gene is believed to play ...

SIR Asymptotics in General Network Models

In the performance analyses of wireless networks, asymptotic quantities and properties often provide useful results and insights. The asymptotic analyses become especially important when complete analytical expressions of the performance metrics of interest are not available, which is often the case if one departs from very specific modeling assumptions. In this paper, we consider the asymptoti...
