Dougherty is the author of 16 books, whose topics range from basic probability books to advanced computational biology and genomic systems engineering. He proposed the Probabilistic Boolean Network (PBN) model for gene regulatory networks.[4] PBNs have been extensively used for intervention and classification in genomic problems.[5][6] He has also introduced the notion of Bolstered Error Estimation[7] and Coefficient of Determination for Nonlinear Signal Processing.[8]
