Many methods have been proposed through recent years leading to a wide range of mathematical approaches. In practice different mathematical approaches will generate different resulting network structures thus it is very important for users to assess the performance of these algorithms. We have conducted a comparative study with six different reverse engineering methods including relevance networks neural networks and Bayesian networks. Our approach consists of the generation of defined benchmark data the analysis of these data with the different methods and the assessment of algorithmic performances by statistical analyses. Performance was judged by network size and noise levels. The results of the comparative study highlight the neural network approach as best performing method among those under study.
