Statistical network analysis

STATISTICAL NETWORK ANALYSIS FOR BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS AND PATHWAYS... 

A model for background traffic commonly adopted in statistical network analysis is a Poisson process with negative exponentially distributed arrival times (Hui, 1990). In order to ensure that delays given by a randomly generated individual are exponentially distributed, the delay field is an index in an array of values exponentially distributed from 0 to JIT seconds with an average value of 0.4" AT. We make no assumptions on the number of genes with a given tag. 

The data analysis module of ELECTRAS is twofold. One part was designed for general statistical data analysis of numerical data. The second part offers a module For analyzing chemical data. The difference between the two modules is that the module for mere statistics applies the stati.stical methods or rieural networks directly to the input data while the module for chemical data analysis also contains methods for the calculation ol descriptors for chemical structures (cl. Chapter 8) Descriptors, and thus structure codes, are calculated for the input structures and then the statistical methods and neural networks can be applied to the codes. 

Another way for BOD estimation is the use of sensor arrays [37]. An electronic nose incorporating a non-specific sensor array of 12 conducting polymers was evaluated for its ability to monitor wastewater samples. A statistical approach (canonical correlation analysis) showed a linear relationship between the sensor responses and BOD over 5 months for some subsets of samples, leading to the prediction of BOD values from electronic nose analysis using neural network analysis.

Description of the mechanics of elastin requires the understanding of two interlinked but distinct physical processes the development of entropic elastic force and the occurrence of hydrophobic association. Elementary statistical-mechanical analysis of AFM single-chain force-extension data of elastin model molecules identifies damping of internal chain dynamics on extension as a fundamental source of entropic elastic force and eliminates the requirement of random chain networks. For elastin and its models, this simple analysis is substantiated experimentally by the observation of mechanical resonances in the dielectric relaxation and acoustic absorption spectra, and theoretically by the dependence of entropy on frequency of torsion-angle oscillations, and by classical molecular-mechanics and dynamics calculations of relaxed and extended states of the P-spiral description of the elastin repeat, (GVGVP) . The role of hydrophobic hydration in the mechanics of elastin becomes apparent under conditions of isometric contraction. 

Fundamental for the statistical reliabUity analysis is the use of data and information from of value added networks Using data from the field, trade organisation, manufacmrer and suppher. 

It is clear that artificial neural networks have become a viable tool for chemists. It is not clear, however, that they are consistently superior to statistical methods. It does seem obvious that with a few possible exceptions (counterpropagation and Kohonen networks), it is more difficult to derive physical meaning from network analysis than it is from statistical methods. Even relatively simple and straightforward questions (e.g.. Which variables are most... 

An expression for the force as a function of strain can be established by statistical thermodynamic analysis of the chain, and then of a network of chains.
