The five-gene-network data analysis with local causal discovery algorithm using causal Bayesian networks.
Using microarray experiments, we can model causal relationships of genes measured through mRNA expression levels. To this end, it is desirable to compare experiments of the system under complete interventions of some genes, such as by knock out of some genes, with experiments of the system under no interventions. However, it is expensive and difficult to conduct wet lab experiments of complete ...
متن کاملCausal Discovery Using A Bayesian Local Causal Discovery Algorithm
This study focused on the development and application of an efficient algorithm to induce causal relationships from observational data. The algorithm, called BLCD, is based on a causal Bayesian network framework. BLCD initially uses heuristic greedy search to derive the Markov Blanket (MB) of a node that serves as the "locality" for the identification of pair-wise causal relationships. BLCD tak...
متن کاملLocal Characterizations of Causal Bayesian Networks
The standard definition of causal Bayesian networks (CBNs) invokes a global condition according to which the distribution resulting from any intervention can be decomposed into a truncated product dictated by its respective mutilated subgraph. We analyze alternative formulations which emphasizes local aspects of the causal process and can serve therefore as more meaningful criteria for coherenc...
متن کاملUsing Causal Information and Local Measures to Learn Bayesian Networks
In previous work we developed a method of learning Bayesian Network models from raw data This method relies on the well known minimal description length MDL principle The MDL principle is particularly well suited to this task as it allows us to tradeo in a principled way the accuracy of the learned network against its practical usefulness In this paper we present some new results that have aris...
متن کاملDiscovery of gene-regulation pathways using local causal search
This paper reports the methods and results of a computer-based algorithm that takes as input the expression levels of a set of genes as given by DNA microarray data, and then searches for causal pathways that represent how the genes regulate each other. The algorithm uses local heuristic search and a Bayesian scoring metric. We applied the algorithm to induce causal networks from a mixture of o...
