"# Directed functional network inference with TE on Cellular Automata\n",
"\n",
"In this activity we will perform pairwise functional network inference using MI and TE on our previous Cellular Automata data set, where we know the structure of the underlying network and have a good understanding of the dynamics.\n",
"\n",
"## A. Functional network inference with MI\n",
"\n",
"First we will infer the functional network to represent the pairwise statistical relationships between the cells as the nodes in our network.\n",
"\n",
"1. Make sure you have a sample data set for CA rule 54 from our tutorial activities in the previous modules -- our to download again see the link on the tutorial website.\n",
"2. Now open the MI AutoAnalyser. Select a Discrete estimator, select your CA data file, tick the checkbox for `All pairs?` and -- most importantly -- untick the checkbox for `Compute result?` (we don't want to run this computation, it will take a lot of time!), and click `Generate Code`.\n",
"3. Paste the code into the code cells below.\n",
"4. Examine how the generated code is computing the MI for each cell pair.\n",
"5. Nake a few changes to the code here for our purposes:\n",
" * Once we get to directed network inference, it will make more sense for our outer loop to be over targets, so that we consider the set of sources afterwards for that target. So, swap the order of the loops over `s` and `d` (so that the outer loop is over `d`)\n",
" * We also don't want to compute the functional network over the whole 10000 cells - this will take too long and is too large to visualise. Let's just work with the first 100. So, before the loops make a new variable `networkSize=100;`\n",
" * Then have the loops over `s` and `d` only run up to `networkSize` instead of all the way up to `10000`.\n",
" * Create a 2D array to store the MI values before the for loops, `results = numpy.zeros((networkSize,networkSize));`\n",
" * Remove the `print` statement, and instead assign the result to the results array, as `results[s,d] = result;`"

"8. Compared to the MI functional network and thresholding the TE value, these directed functional networks capture the direct parents on either side of the target, and we've addressed the issue of a more principled threshold selection. Still, are there many sources which appear to be parents here that you would not expect, given that we know only one source on either side of the target cell are its direct parents? Think about how we could extend the standard algorithm to exclude those other sources from being selected? (This is the subject of the next parts of the lecture)"

" * If the source is statistically significant, we continue to another round to try to select another parent. Else we stop for this target.\n",
"2. Try to run the code, and compare the results to your expectations for a good multivariate model explaining the dynamics, as well as to the functional networks from MI and pairwise TE above.\n",
" * Think through why the inference method might still not completely match the underlying structure, including: statistical fluctuations from the short data set effecting who the strongest sources are, and statistical power, hard coded history length used which may leave more information in spurious sources, no use of pruning step here, conservative p-value threshold and use of analytic surrogates."
