Installation

C-programs can be compiled by

cd robustToolbox
make

Perl scripts are located in folder scripts and can be executed without compilation.

Examples

Examples for all programs and scripts are located in the examples folder.

Calculate robustness

This section describes tools that calculates the robustness of metabolic networks. Help for all C tools is called if the program is started without any parameter.

failureProbabilityByMcs

This C tool calculates the failure probability by a given minimal cutsets. The
provided file needs to be in following format.

recalcFailureProbability

This C tool recalculates the failure probability with a different lambda value
using a previously calculated result by failureProbabilityByMcs.

robustnessByEfms

This C tool calculates the robustness by a given set of EFMs, as described by
Behre et al., 2008

robustnessByEfms

This C tool calculates the the overall robustness by a given set of EFMs, as
described by Behre et al., 2008

Additional tools

This section describes further tools needed for calculation of robustness

convertFailureProbOut2csv.pl

This perl script converts the formatted output of failureProbabilityByMcs and
recalcFailureProbability to csv format
