Genetic network modeling is the field of research that tries to find the underlying network of gene-gene interactions from the measured set of gene expressions. Up to now, several different modeling approaches have been suggested, such as Boolean networks (Liang et al., 1998), Bayesian networks (Friedman et al., 2000), Linear networks (van Someren et al., 2000a; D’Haeseleer et al., 1999), Neural networks (Weaver et al., 1999; Wahde and Hertz, 1999) and Differential Equations (Chen et al., 1999b). In these approaches, genetic interactions are represented by parameters in a parametric model which need to be inferred from the measured gene expressions over time. Current micro-array technology has caused a significant increase in the number of genes whose expression can be measured simultaneously on a single array. However, the number of measurements that are taken in a time-course experiment has not increased in a similar fashion. As a result, typical gene expression data sets consist of relatively few time-points (generally less than 20) with respect to the number of genes (thousands). This so called dimensionality problem and the fact that measurements contain a substantial amount of measurement noise are two of the most fundamental problems in genetic network modeling. Generally, when learning parameters of genetic network models from ill-conditioned data (many genes, few time samples), the solutions become
