The proposed probability flow inference (PFI) method addresses the challenge of inferring dynamical models from omics data by disentangling force from intrinsic stochasticity. The approach infers phase-space probability flows that share time-dependent marginal distributions with the underlying stochastic process, allowing for accurate parameter and force estimation in high-dimensional stochastic reaction networks. PFI outperforms state-of-the-art methods in inferring cell differentiation dynamics with molecular noise.

Scientists are trying to figure out how biological processes work. They have some data from different time points, but it’s hard to understand because there is a lot of randomness involved. The new method called probability flow inference (PFI) helps solve this problem by looking at the flow of probabilities in a special way. This makes it easier to understand how biological processes work and what forces are driving them. PFI works well even when there is a lot of noise in the data, which is important for studying things like cell differentiation.
