SEMdag: Fast learning of Directed Acyclic Graphs via node or layer ordering. by Mario Grassi, Barbara Tarantino

“…We conducted a series of experiments using observed expression (or RNA-seq) data, taking into account a pair of training and testing datasets for four distinct diseases: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Breast cancer (BRCA), Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The results show that the SEMdag() procedure can recover a graph structure with good disease prediction performance evaluated by a conventional supervised learning algorithm (RF): in the scenario where the initial graph is sparse, the BU approach may be a better choice than the KB one; in the case where the graph is denser, both BU an KB report high performance, with highest score for KB approach based on topological layers. …”
