BSFilter compiles bootstrapped networks.

Introduction

This filter compiles bootstrapped network files into a single network. This assumes that all the networks processed have the same set of nodes.

This ignores the input network.

The properties added to the compiled networks:

BS.total: The total number of networks processed. (integer value)
BS.threshold: The specified threshold. (real value)

Arguments

prefix=file_prefix

File name prefix to read. Files file_prefix.XXXXXX are read and processed where XXXXXX is the 6-digit suffix number. The range of the suffix number can be specified by the bg and ed arguments.

type=format

Network file format. See Network File Formats for available list of the network file formats.

args={key [ = value,... ] }

Arguments for the network file format.

th=x

Cut off threashold for the bootstrap probability. Edges whose bootstrap probability (frequency of appearance) is greater or equal to this value remain in the compiled network. (default: x=0.05)

dynamic

y

Specifies that the networks are estimated as the dynamic model.

bg=n

ed=n

The file suffix range of the network files to read. By default, bg=1 and ed=1000.

da_mode= ( mean | median )

The compilation method for double array type properties of edges. The default value is "mean". If the type of the edge property is the double array (e.g. "bspline"), The element-wise means or medians are calculated from the bootstrapped networks. This specifies which method is used for these values.

Example

This compiles files input.000001 through input.000100 in SGN3 format with threshold 0.5, and then saves the compiled network as output.ing in ING format.

--bs prefix=input,type=sgn3,bg=1,ed=100,th=0.5 -o output.ing
