BuildEdges: Edges listing and evaluation

Description

Given a score matrix, this function builds the list of the edges of the associated network. The edges are ordered according to their scores. The score matrix has been computed from a network inference algorithm (e.g. DBNScoreStep1 or DBNScoreStep2, Shrinkage, Lasso, ...). An optional threshold can be specified, as well as a maximal number of edges.

Usage

BuildEdges(score,threshold=1,nb=NULL, targetNames=NULL,predNames=NULL,prec=3,dec=FALSE)

Arguments

score

matrix with $r$ rows (=target genes) and $d$ columns (=predictor genes) containing the scores resulting from an estimation procedure (e.g. DBNScoreStep1 or DBNScoreStep2, Shrinkage, Lasso, ...).

threshold

An optional real setting the maximal value for edge selection, default=1.

nb

An optional integer setting the maximal number of selected edges, default=NULL.

targetNames

An optional array ($r$) giving a list of names for the target genes, default=NULL.

predNames

An optional array ($d$) giving a list of names for the predictor genes, default=NULL.

prec

An optional integer setting the number of decimal places for score display, default=3.

dec

boolean, FALSE if the smallest score points out the most significant edge, default=FALSE.

Value

score (First column: predictor, second column: target, third column: corresponding score). Predictors and targets are referred to through the names given by targetNames or predNames when specified.

## STEP 2- The second step score matrix
S2 <- DBNScoreStep2(S1$S1ls, Xn, method='ls', alpha1)

## Building the edges of the network inferred after Step2
