Optimal Experimental Design for Gene Regulatory Networks in the Presence of Uncertainty
2015
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology & Bioinformatics
Based on this prioritization, one can select an optimal experiment with the largest potential to reduce the pertinent uncertainty present in the current network model. ...
In this work, we utilize the concept of mean objective cost of uncertainty (MOCU) to propose a novel framework for optimal experimental design. ...

Sequential Experimental Design for Optimal Structural Intervention in Gene Regulatory Networks Based on the Mean Objective Cost of Uncertainty
2018
Cancer Informatics
A classical approach is to maximally reduce the overall uncertainty in the model, meaning maximal entropy reduction. ...
Complex models suffer from uncertainty and experiments are needed to reduce this uncertainty. ...
Since uncertainty can be quantified via entropy, a historical approach to experimental design has been to choose an experiment that maximally reduces entropy (Lindley 1956; Raiffa et al. 1961) . ...

An experimental design framework for Markovian gene regulatory networks under stationary control policy
2018
BMC Systems Biology
In the presence of uncertainty, it is of great practical interest to develop an experimental design strategy and thereby select experiments that optimally reduce a measure of uncertainty. ...
When the network is uncertain, a Bayesian framework can be applied, where policy optimality is with respect to both the dynamical objective and the uncertainty, as characterized by a prior distribution ...
