Figure Lengend Snippet: Regression-based Gene Regulatory Network Inference Algorithms. Schematic describing how different regression based GRN inference methods work. These methods are based on different machine learning algorithms. We show six methods based on different machine learning algorithms that differ on the model shape and the way models for different TFs are combined. They were selected because they represent major types of machine learning methods used for GRN reconstruction and because of their high performance in the DREAM 4 and DREAM 5 challenges. PLSNET uses partial least squares and fits a linear model between TFs and targets. TIGRESS uses a linear model with different lasso parameters They both rely on the assumption that the expression of a gene is proportional to the expression levels of the TFs that regulate it. GRNBoost2 and ENNET use boosting to learn different tree models between TFs and targets. GENIE3 also uses tree models, however they iteratively resample different subsets of observations and potential TFs per target and create an ensemble of tree models. Unlike linear models, tree models do not rely on any assumption between the relationship of a TF and a target, however they are not continuous models.
