Bayesian Structure Learning for Graphical Models With Symmetry Constraints
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PAM50 gene expression profiling, a popular and widely used tool, is employed to identify and assess the functional relationships and pathways among genes in patients with breast cancer. Motivated by a study aimed at concurrently recovering dependency and symmetric networks for the PAM50 gene data set, we consider the graphical Gaussian model with symmetry constraints on edges and vertices. The symmetry constraints in the model are represented by imposing equality constraints on the concentration matrix. This model allows us to simultaneously explore the dependency relationships and symmetrical structure among the variables. The symmetrical structure of PAM50 gene expression can deepen our understanding of their functional similarities and the inherent symmetrical properties of gene regulatory behavior. Prioritizing candidate genes with high functional similarity will help elucidate the underlying biological mechanisms for the disease progression. To effectively capture the network's structure, we utilize a birth-death Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. This method is a continuous-time and transdimensional search algorithm that is particularly effective in this context. To further improve the efficiency of the algorithm, we propose a stepwise model learning strategy combined with an approximation method for the posterior distribution. To validate the effectiveness of our approach, we finally apply it in various simulation studies as well as in a practical application involving the PAM50 gene expression data set.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
