This paper studies expression-based classification under the assumption that single-cell measurements are sampled at a sufficient rate to detect regulatory timing. Observations are expression trajectories. In effect, classification is performed on data generated by an underlying gene regulatory network. Network regulation is modeled via a Boolean network with perturbation, regulation not being fully determined owing to inherent biological randomness, and we assume a partially known Gaussian observation model belonging to an uncertainty class of models. We derive the intrinsically Bayesian robust classifier to discriminate between wild-type and mutated networks based on expression trajectories. We test it using the mammalian cell-cycle model, discriminating between wild-type and mutated networks. Tests examine all model aspects, including trajectory length, perturbation probability, and the hyperparameters governing the prior distribution over the uncertainty class.
