Edge Weighting Methods In Protein-Protein Interactions

Is there any comprehensive review available for the methods available for weighting edges in protein-protein interaction networks?

I know a few based on GO-similarity or clustering coefficient of the adjacent nodes etc.The methods might be different according to the purpose and I'll be more than happy if you share your methodologies.

Thanks

I know there is some relevant work in edge weighting done by Vidal and Barabasi, but the exact citations escape me at the moment. You should look at this Vidal paper: Molecular Systems Biology 5; Article number 321; doi:10.1038/msb.2009.80 by Zhong, Simonis, et al.

Thanks Larry for the ref.

You may already know this one -- (and already from 2006!) Brohee & van Helden's comparative study of several clustering algorithms.

Another good reference is Mason & Verwoerd's "Graph theory and networks in biology". However, I'm surprised there hasn't been a more recent review.

Thanks Alex !!!
