Detecting disease association with rare variants using weighted entropy.

Abstract excerpt

The rapid development of sequencing technology and simultaneously the availability of large quantities of sequence data provide an unprecedented opportunity for researchers to conduct studies to detect rare variants associated with the disease. However, none of the current existing statistical methods has uniform power in all scenarios because they are more or less affected by nonfunctional variants and variants...
