Assisted estimation of gene expression graphical models.

ABSTRACT: In the study of gene expression data, network analysis has played a uniquely important role. To accommodate the high dimensionality and low sample size and generate interpretable results, regularized estimation is usually conducted in the construction of gene expression Gaussian Graphical Models (GGM). Here we use GeO-GGM to represent gene-expression-only GGM. Gene expressions are regulated by regulators. gene-expression-regulator GGMs (GeR-GGMs), which accommodate gene expressions as well as their regulators, have been constructed accordingly. In practical data analysis, with a "lack of information" caused by the large number of model parameters, limited sample size, and weak signals, the construction of both GeO-GGMs and GeR-GGMs is often unsatisfactory. In this article, we recognize tha
