It has previously been noted that errors are frequent among large-scale studies, and that error frequency depends on the large-scale method used. Despite knowledge of the error-prone nature of interaction evidence, edges (connections) in this network are typically viewed as either present or absent. However, use of a probabilistic network that considers quantity and quality of supporting evidence should improve inference derived from protein networks. Here we demonstrate inference of membership in a partially known protein complex by using a probabilistic network model and an algorithm previously used to evaluate reliability in communication networks.
