Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) interaction plays a critical role for complex diseases. The primary limitation of logistic regressions (LR) in testing SNP-SNP interactions is that coefficient estimates may not be valid because of numerous terms in a model. Multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) have useful features to effectively reduce the number of terms in a model. To study how MARS can address...
