Abstract

The goal of this paper is to develop a novel statistical framework for inferring dependence between distributions of variables in omics data. We propose the concept of building a dependence network using a copula-based kernel dependency measures to reconstruct the underlying association network between the distributions. ISaaC is utilized for reverse-engineering gene regulatory networks and is competitive with several state-of-the-art gene regulatory inferrence methods on DREAM3 and DREAM4 Challenge datasets. An open-source implementation of ISaaC is available at https://bitbucket.org/HossamAlmeer/isaac/.
