Hi Everyone,

We have a question about whether one can to do a particular type of Granger 
Causality (GC) network validation in R. We hope you'll agree it's an 
interesting problem and that someone's figured out how to solve it.

We have a cellular network with n nodes (proteins).  We have two different n x 
s x k time series matrices that describe the network activity under two 
mutually exclusive conditions, C (cancerous cell) and H (healthy cell), where s 
is the length of the time series data, and k is the number of observations.
Using the time series matrices, we calculated two different n x n GC matrices, 
one for healthy cells and one for cancerous cells, so that ij th element in 
each matrix represents the GC influence of node i on node j.  Using the various 
standard tests, we know that many of the GC values are extremely significant.
Now we’re given a brand-new observation in the form of a n x s x 1 time series 
matrix Y that represents the activity of the same n nodes (we don’t know a 
priori whether the new data come from a healthy cell or a cancerous cell).
Given this matrix Y :
(1) How can we go about determining if Y comes from a cancerous cell (condition 
C) or a healthy cell (condition H)?
(2) Is there a package in R that we can use for this purpose?

Thank you very much!
Pat
