This is inconsistent with statistical significance and null models that underlie the most widely employed methods.

🚨 New paper on ArXiv:

“Uncertainty quantification and posterior sampling for network reconstruction”

TL;DR; We present an efficient method to sample the entire ensemble of possible network reconstructions that are compatible with an indirect observation, e.g. a dynamics.

Good news for Arch GNU/Linux users! Graph-tool is now available in the main repository! To install it, just do:

pacman -S python-graph-tool

The days of compiling graph-tool from AUR are over!

Rejoice! 🎉
