Evaluating network methods

How do we know that a network analysis method works? Testing against synthetic data (where the truth is known by construction) is a common approach, but lacks the statistical idiosyncrasies of experimental data. An alternative approach is to test whether the method...

PoDA (Pathways of Distinction Analysis)

PoDA is a pathway-based, multi-SNP analysis method for GWAS data based upon the hypothesis that if a pathway is related to disease risk, cases will appear more similar to other cases than to controls for the SNPs associated with that pathway. PoDA improves on existing...

GeneSurrounder

GeneSurrounder is a new network-based analysis method for transcriptomic data that identifies sources of disregulation. It achieves this by quantifying patterns of differential expression on the network surrounding each gene, and returns a ranked list of putative...
