Small over-represented motifs in biological networks are believed to represent essential functional units of biological processes. A natural question is to gauge whether a motif occurs abundantly or rarely in a biological network. Given that high-throughput biotechnology is only able to interrogate a portion of the entire biological network with non-negligible errors, we develop a powerful method to correct link errors in estimating undirected or directed motif counts in the entire network from noisy subnetwork data.
