Variable selection in heterogeneous datasets: A truncated-rank sparse linear mixed model with applications to genome-wide association studies.

Abstract excerpt

A fundamental and important challenge in modern datasets of ever increasing dimensionality is variable selection, which has taken on renewed interest recently due to the growth of biological and medical datasets with complex, non-i.i.d. structures. Naïvely applying classical variable selection methods such as the Lasso to such datasets may lead to a large number of false discoveries. Motivated by genome-wide...
