function E = bnBestFit_old(D,IO,Ind,w,k,emax,pinfo)

% E = bnBestFit_old(D,IO,Ind,w,k,emax,pinfo) - Gene regulatory network inference
%
% bnBestFit performs a gene regulatory network inference under the Boolean
% network model for a set of "interesting" genes. The function outputs a
% "row-matrix" E containing the histograms of the error size (ref. Best-Fit
% Extension Paradigm) for all the interesting genes.
%
% Input variables:
% D     - Binary input matrix. D(i,:) corresponds to the (binary) expression
%         profile of the i:th gene. Correspondingly, D(:,j) represents the
%         gene activity profile for the j:th time index.
% IO    - Indices which define the input-output column pairs in the data
%         matrix D. The first and the second row define the input and output
%         columns in the matrix D. For example, IO(1,i) defines the i:th
%         input column vectors (the i:th gene activity profile), and IO(2,i)
%         defines the corresponding output activity profile. Each index in
%         IO must be between 1 and size(D,2). This parameter allows to
%         infer functions from separate time-series or even from the
%         steady-state data. That is, one can also set IO(1,i) == IO(2,i).
% Ind   - Index vector containing indices of the "interesting" genes. All
%         elements of Ind must be between 1 and size(D,1).
% w     - Weight vector containing positive weights for the measurements in
%         D. For now, the implementation only allows to define a single
%         weight for each column in D. In particular, the weight w(i)
%         defines the weight for the i:th input vector.
% k     - Maximum indegree.
% emax  - Maximum allowable error size.
% pinfo - An optional vector that defines the start and stop index of
%         the "main" loop (see below) and the first variable combination.
%         The start and stop indices are defined by pinfo(1) and pinfo(2).
%         The first variable combination is defined by the elements
%         pinfo(3:end) = pinfo(3:k+2)
%
% Output variables:
% E     - "Row-matrix" of the histograms of the error size (ref. Best-Fit
%         Extension Paradigm) for all the "interesting" genes.

% Modified: 22.10.2002 by HL: The code was sped up. 29.10.2002 by HL:
% Name changed and one input parameter added. Now more than one time-series
% (i.e. concatenation of several time-series) can be used. Even a
% combination of time-series and steady-state data is allowed.

% Note that one possible way of speeding up the code is to form separate
% input and output data matrices. That would decrease the number of indexing
% in the main loop. This may, however, cause problems in the case of huge
% data sets and large number of "interesting" genes... Also, function
% DistortionVectors should be "checked".
