Winston Ewert: The Dependency Graph of Life

In service of this goal @Winston_Ewert, can you make available to us the results you computed for this study ? In particular, I want like to see the full dependency graph you compute, in all its gory detail. I’m sure you have them in text files somewhere. I’d like a copy of it, with a reasonable README file.

I thought people might like to see it, which is why its available in the supplemental data from the bio-complexity website.

@sygarte

I find the very large differences in data fitting probability given in Table 4 surprising, and I was wondering if other methods would show similar large differences between the two models.

Josh has said pretty much exactly what I would have said.

@swamidass

I think a better question concerns the fit we would get from an undirected graph model versus a dependency graph (which is a directed graph), using the same penalization.

Yes, that is an important question that will need to be addressed.
