[BioC] Bayesian networks in BioC

[alex lam (RI)]

hi Jacob,

Sorry, I am not an expert and in fact just a newbie in statistical genetics and R.

There is a package called "deal" in CRAN for Bayesian Network Learning. Never used it before though.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi all,

I looked around on the BioC site for information on any  
implementations of Bayesian networks in Bioconductor.  I couldn't  
find anything.  From the literature it looks like Bayesian networks  
for gene expression has been around for almost as long as  
microarrays, yet no implementations exist in R/Bioconductor - which  
seemed a little odd to me.  Is there a reason for this?  Are Bayesian  
networks somehow dubious, or is it just that nobody has written a  
package?

Would love to hear from the experts...

Thanks,

Jake
