Usage

sim.intervention(x, int, T=1)

Arguments

x

nem object

int

a character vector of nodes in the network

T

number of time steps to be simulated (only for dynoNEMs)

Value

list with two slots:

   data("BoutrosRNAi2002")
   D <- BoutrosRNAiDiscrete[,9:16]
   res = nem(D, control=set.default.parameters(unique(colnames(D)), para=c(0.13,0.05))) 
   sim.intervention(res, "rel") # simulate knock-down of rel
