SYSTEM FOR THE QUANTIFICATION OF SYSTEM-WIDE DYNAMICS IN COMPLEX NETWORKS

摘要

A device, method and system are provided for diagnosing a disease using a gene expression reader to analyze biological samples and output gene expression values to calculate a scaling factor using a computer by counting a number of link counts Cn for groups of an individual genes' expression values at different times at a threshold value C or for groups of genes' expression values at a single time at the threshold value C, calculating an average number Cave of the link counts Cn, calculating a largest number M of the Cn, iteratively applying a relation Cave=M/log(M) for different threshold values C, comparing data of the Cave values versus M/log(M), and calculating a fitting to the compared data to output the scaling factor a. The scaling factor a is compared with other scaling factors a′ in a database to output a report of estimates for a degree of health.
