Abstract excerpt
The detection of genotypes that predict common, complex disease is a challenge for human geneticists. The phenomenon of epistasis, or gene-gene interactions, is particularly problematic for traditional statistical techniques. Additionally, the explosion of genetic information makes exhaustive searches of multilocus combinations computationally infeasible. To address these challenges, neural networks (NN), a...
