Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polygenic risk score (PRS) is a major research topic in human genetics. However, a significant gap exists between PRS methodology and applications in practice due to often unavailable individual-level data for various PRS tasks including model fine-tuning, benchmarking, and ensemble learning. RESULTS: We introduce an innovative statistical framework to optimize and benchmark PRS models using summary...
