Using single-index ODEs to study dynamic gene regulatory network.

ABSTRACT: With the development of biotechnology, high-throughput studies on protein-protein, protein-gene, and gene-gene interactions become possible and attract remarkable attention. To explore the interactions in dynamic gene regulatory networks, we propose a single-index ordinary differential equation (ODE) model and develop a variable selection procedure. We employ the smoothly clipped absolute deviation penalty (SCAD) penalized function for variable selection. We analyze a yeast cell cycle gene expression data set to illustrate the usefulness of the single-index ODE model. In real data analysis, we group genes into functional modules using the smoothing spline clustering approach. We estimate state functions and their first derivatives for functional modules using penalized spline-based nonpara
