Information metrics in genetic epidemiology.

Statistical applications in genetics and molecular biology - 1 Jan 2011

Tritchler David L, Sucheston Lara, Chanda Pritam, Ramanathan Murali

Abstract excerpt

Information-theoretic metrics have been proposed for studying gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in genetic epidemiology. Although these metrics have proven very promising, they are typically interpreted in the context of communications and information transmission, diminishing their tangibility for epidemiologists and statisticians. In this paper, we clarify the interpretation of information-theoretic...
