dc.descriptionIn a recent study, (Grigorov, 2006) analyzed temporal gene expression profiles (Arbeitman et al., 2002) generated in a Drosophila experiment using SSA in conjunction with Monte-Carlo SSA. The author (Grigorov, 2006) makes three important claims in his article, namely: Claim1: A new method based on the theory of nonlinear time series analysis is used to capture the global dynamics of the fruit-fly cycle temporal gene expression profiles. Claim 2: Flattening of a significant part of the eigen-spectrum confirms the hypothesis about an underly-ing high-dimensional chaotic generating process. Claim 3: Monte-Carlo SSA can be used to establish whether a given time series is distinguishable from any well-defined process including deterministic chaos. In this report we present fundamental concerns with respect to the above claims (Grigorov, 2006) in a systematic manner with simple examples. The discussion provided especially discourages the choice of SSA for inferring nonlinear dynamical structure form time series obtained in any biological paradigm.
