This study introduces SgLV-EKF, a new method for inferring microbial interaction networks (MINs). It accurately models bacterial ecosystem dynamics, outperforming existing approaches in robustness and tracking capabilities.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Systems Biology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Inferring microbial interaction networks (MINs) is crucial for understanding bacterial ecosystems and developing therapies.
  • Existing methods using the generalized Lotka-Volterra (gLV) model often neglect uncertainties in dynamics and have limitations with sparse, nonlinear data.
  • Novel estimation techniques are needed to address these challenges in MIN inference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel stochastic gLV model with an extended Kalman filter (EKF) for robust MIN inference and dynamic tracking.
  • To enhance MIN modeling by incorporating stochasticity to account for uncertainties in underlying dynamics.
  • To evaluate the performance of the proposed SgLV-EKF method against existing algorithms.
