Statistical Approaches for biological networks
Seminar

Focus of the seminar are statistical inference approaches for biological networks from high-throughput data. The seminar is open to everybody. I especially invite students interested in systems biology. Moreover, the seminar is part of the Graduate School program in the Cluster of Excellence Simulation Technology.

Content of the seminar

  • Stochastic modeling approaches for biological (espcially gene regulatory) networks, in particular, Bayesian and dynamic Bayesian networks
  • Statistical learning approaches (Maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods), with various applications to network inference in biology
  • Sampling methods for analyzing probability distributions
I will give an introductory course about stochastic modeling approaches in the beginning of the seminar (2-3 weeks), in which the basics for the following talks are provided. Then every participant presents a book chapter or a research paper that falls within the scope of the seminar. A list of suggested papers is available here.
