The application discloses a
gene regulation network
inference method combining information theory and
machine learning, including obtaining
time series of different
gene expression processes, converting the
time series into symbol sequences, calculating the symbol transition entropy between different
gene symbol sequences, calculating the regulation gene set of each gene, constructing a model for the
time series of a
target gene and the time series set corresponding to the regulation gene set of the
target gene and training the model, calculating the importance
score of the regulation gene, screening the regulation gene with the importance
score meeting a first threshold value and adding the regulation gene into a core regulation gene set; obtaining the symbol transition entropy of all core regulation genes to the
target gene, combining the importance
score and the symbol transition entropy of the core regulation gene into a regulation coefficient after normalization, screening the core regulation gene set meeting a second threshold value, and obtaining the core regulation gene set of all target genes. The method reduces the calculation complexity, solves the
overfitting problem of the model based on
machine learning, and improves the prediction accuracy.
