The reverse engineering of transcription regulatory networks from expression data is gaining large interest in the bioinformatics community. An important family of inference techniques is represented by algorithms based on information theoretic measures which rely on the computation of pairwise mutual information. This paper aims to study the impact of the entropy estimator on the quality of the inferred networks. This is done by means of a comprehensive study which takes into consideration three state-of-the-art mutual information algorithms: ARACNE, CLR, and MRNET. Two different setups are considered in this work. The first one considers a set of 12 synthetically generated datasets to compare 8 different entropy estimators and three network inference algorithms. The two methods emerging as the most accurate ones from the first set of experiments are the MRNET method combined with the newly applied Spearman correlation and the CLR method combined with the Pearson correlation. The validation of these two techniques is then carried out on a set of 10 public domain microarray datasets measuring the transcriptional regulatory activity in the yeast organism.
