Analysis of association studies and inference of haplotypic phase using hidden Markov models
2010-01-01
Abstract excerpt
In this thesis I focus on the development and application of hidden Markov model (HMM) to solve problems in statistical genetics. Our method, based on a HMM, models the joint haplotype structure in the samples, where the parameters in the model are estimated by the Baum-Welch EM algorithm. Also, the model does not require pre-defined blocks or a sliding window scheme to define haplotype boundaries. Thus our method...
