Abstract excerpt
A central goal of human genetics is to identify susceptibility genes for common human diseases. An important challenge is modelling gene-gene interaction or epistasis that can result in nonadditivity of genetic effects. The multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method was developed as a mach...
