Abstract
Gene regulatory network inference is one of the central problems in computational biology. We need models that integrate the variety of data available in order to use their complementarity information to overcome the issues of noisy and limited data. BENIN: Biologically Enhanced Network INference is our proposal to integrate data and infer more accurate networks. BENIN is a general framework that jointly considers different types of prior knowledge with expression datasets to improve the network inference. The method states the network inference as a feature selection problem and uses a popular penalized regression method, the Elastic net, combined with bootstrap resampling to solve it. BENIN significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on the simulated data from the DREAM 4 challenge when combining genome-wide location data, knockout gene expression data, and time series expression data.

Ensemble Regression Modelling for Genetic Network Inference

TL;DR: The proposed simple ensemble regression-based feature selection model is able to eliminate overfitting, multi co-linearity issues, and irrelevant genes within one computational approach, and outperformed other state-of-the-art methods, producing high true positives, reducing false positives, and obtaining high Structural Accuracy.

Regression Shrinkage and Selection via the Lasso

TL;DR: A new method for estimation in linear models called the lasso, which minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the sum of the absolute value of the coefficients being less than a constant, is proposed.

Regularization and variable selection via the elastic net

TL;DR: It is shown that the elastic net often outperforms the lasso, while enjoying a similar sparsity of representation, and an algorithm called LARS‐EN is proposed for computing elastic net regularization paths efficiently, much like algorithm LARS does for the lamba.

The stationary bootstrap
