Abstract

This paper recaps and extends a new method for the parameter identification of Boolean models with continuous valued data. The proposed Zhegalkin identification method with constraints allows us to include a priori known qualitative properties of the system formulated as binary rules. One rule is especially investigated, i.e. the canalizing property-because of its relevance in gene network modelling from which an application example is given.
