Network Interference Analysis and Correction Software (Ying Wang, David A. Hodgson, Miriam L. Gifford & Nigel J. Burroughs)

An implementation of the method described in our paper "Correcting for link loss in causal network inference caused by regulator interference" submitted to Bioinformatics. This method defines causal networks corrected for the problem of interference between dynamically similar regulators within the context of a sparse linear auto-regression model. Test data is provided within the NIACS software package. Please see the file NIACS_Documentation.pdf contained within the package for details on how to run the software.

Requirements: The R programming language

Bayesian Hierarchical Clustering for R (Richard S Savage, Katherine Heller, Yang Xu, Zoubin Ghahramani, William M Truman, Murray Grant, Katherine J Denby and David L Wild)

An implementation of the algorithm described by Heller and Ghahramani (2005). This method clusters multinomial data using a greedy agglomorative algorithm based on a Dirichlet process (ie infinite mixture) model.

This work was funded by EPSRC

Requirements: The R programming language

Its in the form of an R package, which can be installed using the command R CMD INSTALL BHC_1.1.0.tar.gz. To use the BHC function you then need to explicitly load the library in your R session, using library(BHC) or require(BHC).
