Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Consecutive testing of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is usually employed to identify genetic variants associated with complex traits. Ideally one should model all covariates in unison, but most existing analysis methods for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) perform only univariate regression. RESULTS: We extend and efficiently implement iterative hard thresholding (IHT) for multiple...
