Extracting flux vectors from the sampling space. #9

Open swathiHv opened 6 years ago

swathiHv commented 6 years ago

Hi, I'm working on a project which requires me to extract a large number of flux vectors from the sampling space. I wanted to know there is any way I can do that using your tool/approach. Are there any other tools that could do that for me other than optGpSampler? Any guidance will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi swathiHv

Making it simple, our algorithm is able to provide marginal probability distribution over the space of solutions. In principle we could also generate configurations, as you needed, but:

  1. we have not implemented this feature in nether of the implementations (matlab/julia)

[... sorry sticky finger]

  1. the straightforward implementation might computationally inefficient.

Please consider that in marginals there is a lot of information. If you tell us what you need the configuration for, we might come up with an equivalent solution using marginals rather than configurations
