The method is described in detail in the paper:
V. Policastro, M. Magnani, C. Angelini and A. Carissimo(2024). INet for network integration. Computational Statistics. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00180-024-01536-8
For the installation in R:
devtools::install_github("ValeriaPolicastro/INet-Tool")
We want to identify general information by building a Consensus Network and then to obtain Case-Specific Networks one for each layer with the information present only in that layer and not in all the others.
Important Functions:
-
consensusNet to create the Consensus Network
-
specificNet to create the Case Specific Network
-
thresholdNet to change the threshold of the consensus from the similar layer after the algorithm
-
JWmean to see how distant are the layers at the beginning
