minet

MINET is an open-source Bioconductor package that implements various algorithms for inferring networks (such as gene networks) from data (using mutual information). In particular, the package implements MRNET, an effective method developed by the authors.

The package was written by Patrick E. Meyer, Frederic Lafitte and Gianluca Bontempi (in the Machine Learning Group of the Universite Libre de Bruxelles).
