Network Analysis Options

Just wondering why the only option available to choose (ie that can be clicked) in the Network Analysis Options during the Set Parameters Stage is the “Debiased Sparse Partial Correlation (DSPC) Network”. The other options like “Metabolite Disease Interaction Network” or “Metabolite Metabolite Interaction Network” are on the page but cannot be chosen ie they can’t be clicked.

Any insights would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
JM

Hope you have figured out the reason. The Network Module was originally designed for mapping from a list of features of interest to different knowledge-based networks. The DSPC was added late - it requires table input to compute network based on the data.

If your input is a table, other networks will be disabled as they require list input. To use other networks, you need to first detect significant metabolites from the compound table (i.e. t-tests or fold changes using the Statistics module), and copy-paste the sig. features.
