Abstract excerpt
We developed a computationally efficient algorithm AMBIENCE, for identifying the informative variables involved in gene-gene (GGI) and gene-environment interactions (GEI) that are associated with disease phenotypes. The AMBIENCE algorithm uses a novel information theoretic metric called phenotype-associated information (PAI) to search for combinations of genetic variants and environmental variables associated...
