Cascade is a modeling tool allowing gene selection, reverse engineering, and prediction in cascade networks. Jung, N., Bertrand, F., Bahram, S., Vallat, L., and Maumy-Bertrand, M. (2014) https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btt705.
The package was presented at the User2014! conference. Jung, N., Bertrand, F., Bahram, S., Vallat, L., and Maumy-Bertrand, M. (2014). "Cascade: a R-package to study, predict and simulate the diffusion of a signal through a temporal genenetwork", book of abstracts, User2014!, Los Angeles, page 153, https://user2014.r-project.org/abstracts/posters/181_Jung.pdf.
This website and these examples were created by F. Bertrand and M. Maumy-Bertrand.
You can install the released version of Cascade from CRAN with:
install.packages("Cascade")You can install the development version of Cascade from github with:
devtools::install_github("fbertran/Cascade")Import Cascade Data (repeated measurements on several subjects) from the CascadeData package and turn them into a micro array object. The second line makes sure the CascadeData package is installed.
library(Cascade)

There are several functions to carry out gene selection before the inference. They are detailed in the two vignettes of the package.
Let's simulate some cascade data and then do some reverse engineering.
We first design the F matrix
T<-4
F<-array(0,c(T-1,T-1,T*(T-1)/2))
for(i in 1:(T*(T-1)/2)){diag(F[,,i])<-1}
F[,,2]<-F[,,2]*0.2
F[2,1,2]<-1
F[3,2,2]<-1
F[,,4]<-F[,,2]*0.3
F[3,1,4]<-1
F[,,5]<-F[,,2]We set the seed to make the results reproducible and draw a scale free random network.
set.seed(1)
Net<-Cascade::network_random(
nb=100,
time_label=rep(1:4,each=25),
exp=1,
init=1,
regul=round(rexp(100,1))+1,
min_expr=0.1,
max_expr=2,
casc.level=0.4
)
Net@F<-FWe simulate gene expression according to the network that was previously drawn
M <- Cascade::gene_expr_simulation(
network=Net,
time_label=rep(1:4,each=25),
subject=5,
level_peak=200)

###Post inferrence network analysis We switch to data that were derived from the inferrence of a real biological network and try to detect the optimal cutoff value: the best cutoff value for a network to fit a scale free network.
