    Abstract

    Recent technological advances have made it possible to simultaneously measure
    multiple protein activities at the single cell level. With such data collected
    under different stimulatory or inhibitory conditions, it is possible to infer
    the causal relationships among proteins from single cell interventional data.
    In this article we propose a Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework to infer
    the signaling pathway based on the posterior distributions of parameters in the
    model.

    Abstract

    Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are commonly used to model dynamic
    behavior of a system. Because many parameters are unknown and have to be
    estimated from the observed data, there is growing interest in statistics to
    develop efficient estimation procedures for these parameters. Among the
    proposed methods in the literature, the generalized profiling estimation method
    developed by Ramsay and colleagues is particularly promising for its
    computational efficiency and good performance. In this approach, the ODE
    solution is approximated with a linear combination of basis functions.
