| Abstract: |
Recent single-cell experiments that measure copy numbers of over 40 proteins in thousands of individual cells at different time points [time-stamped snapshot (TSS) data] exhibit cell-to-cell variability. Because the same cells cannot be tracked over time, TSS data provide key information about the statistical time-evolution of protein abundances in single cells, information that could yield insights into the mechanisms influencing the biochemical signaling kinetics of a cell. However, when multiple candidate models (i.e., mechanistic models applied to initial protein abundances) can potentially explain the same TSS data, selecting the best model (i.e., model selection) is often challenging. For example, popular approaches like Kullback–Leibler divergence and Akaike's Information Criterion are often difficult to implement largely because mathematical expressions for the likelihoods of candidate models are typically not available. To perform model selection, we introduce an entropy-based approach that uses split-sample techniques to exploit the availability of large data sets and uses (1) existing generalized method of moments (GMM) software to estimate model parameters, and (2) standard kernel density estimators and a Gaussian copula to estimate candidate models. Using simulated data, we show that our approach can select the "ground truth" from a set of competing mechanistic models. Then, to assess the relative support for a candidate model, we compute model selection probabilities using a bootstrap procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
