A neighbour selection approach for identifying differential networks in conditional functional graphical models

Alessia Mapelli, Laura Carini, Francesca Ieva +1

Estimating how different brain regions communicate with each other using EEG data is valuable both for medical research and clinical diagnosis. This involves quantifying the statis…

When algebra twinks system biology: a conjecture on the structure of Gröbner bases in complex chemical reaction networks

Paola Ferrari, Sara Sommariva, Michele Piana +2

We address the challenge of identifying all real positive steady states in chemical reaction networks (CRNs) governed by mass-action kinetics. Traditional numerical methods often r…

The role of spectral complexity in connectivity estimation

Elisabetta Vallarino, Michele Piana, Alberto Sorrentino +1

The study of functional connectivity from magnetoecenphalographic (MEG) data consists in quantifying the statistical dependencies among time series describing the activity of diffe…

Sequential Monte Carlo samplers for semilinear inverse problems and application to magnetoencephalography

Sara Sommariva, Alberto Sorrentino

We discuss the use of a recent class of sequential Monte Carlo methods for solving inverse problems characterized by a semi-linear structure, i.e. where the data depend linearly on…
