Accurate Genomic Prediction Of Human Height

2017-09-18

Abstract excerpt

We construct genomic predictors for heritable and extremely complex human quan-titative traits (height, heel bone density, and educational attainment) using modern methods in high dimensional statistics (i.e., machine learning). Replication tests show that these predictors capture, respectively, ∼40, 20, and 9 percent of total variance for the three traits. For example, predicted heights correlate ∼0.65 with actua...
