Is it possible to run it only with expression and metadata? #36

Hi, I understood from the readme that this could be run only with the regulators and the expression data, even if the performarnce would be "extremely poor". I would like to test that, but I'm getting the error "No gold standard or priors have been provided". Are these required in all cases? Thanks

Yep, although it will raise an error (as you've noticed) if you don't set a couple of flags to suppress the error.

from inferelator import inferelator_workflow

worker = inferelator_workflow(regression="elasticnet", workflow="tfa")
worker.set_network_data_flags(use_no_prior=True, use_no_gold_standard=True)

This should work. Let me know if there are any problems.

Sorry i missed that. It's now working good. Thanks
