Elastic-net regularization approaches for genome-wide association studies of rheumatoid arthritis
1 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
The current trend in genome-wide association studies is to identify regions where the true disease-causing genes may lie by evaluating thousands of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the whole genome. However, many challenges exist in detecting disease-causing genes among the thousands of SNPs. Examples include multicollinearity and multiple testing issues, especially when a large number of correlated...
