Schedule: 08.01.2019 - 21.02.2019
Teaching Period (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
III (Spring)
Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
After the course students will have a comprehensive understanding of fundamental methodological concepts underlying modeling of biological networks and systems. Students will learn to choose appropriate modeling methods for a variety of small- and large-scale problems as well as for different types of experimental data. Students will learn to apply various computational and statistical modeling methods in real interdisciplinary biological problems and have sufficient knowledge to explore the topic further.
Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Mathematical and statistical models of biological molecular-level networks, such as gene regulation, epigenetics, signaling, and metabolism. Models covered in the course include stochastic chemical reaction networks, ordinary differential equations, Bayesian and dependency networks, regression models and random networks. Statistical methods for inference of networks from data, and prediction using the models. Mainly probabilistic and machine learning models.
Assessment Methods and Criteria (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Examination and exercises/assignment problems.
Workload (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
