Part of Frequency Table for Shift Subset

Download: freq_EColi_post_as_prior.pdf

Notes:
1. Shift Subset is defined from Page 16 of Manchester.pdf

2. In muD (prior mean matrix of D), only 12 entries'signs are adjusted, based on the info in memo1. Only these 12 entries are multiplied with mu value (e.g. *0.5), when mu varies. Other entries inherit their sign and value from previous experiment.

3. 10 posterior MEAN matrices for A,B,C, D from the previous experiment (vsn_normalization), with some entries adjusted for the new priors. However, vbssm is unable to run when posterior COVARIANCE is incorporated, since 'trigamma' function will report severe problem to stop computation.

Memo1:Priors 
hns-> glpC, glpQ +ve (these appeared in the model network and were confirmed by the experiment)
hns-> cyo D,E,B,A no connection (not confirmed by experiment)
hns -> sdhB -ve (confirmed)
hns-> arcA no connection
hns-> appY -ve (connected confirmed but sign different)
hns-> cad A,B -ve (opposite sign)
hns -> hdeB -ve (opposite sign)

Memo2. Posterior
Expt A, instead of starting with 10 random seeds, you need to start from the 10 posterior matrices for A,B,C, D from the previous experiment (vsn_normalization), with the means and variances adjusted for the new priors, i.e. the posteriors from the previous experiment become the priors for the new experiment.

Note:
Q: How to present 'no connection' in prior matrix?
A: This is be a prior constrained around zero - i.e mean zero but with very tight distribution (low variance)
