LAMPLINK: detection of statistically significant SNP combinations from GWAS data
One of the major issues in genome-wide association studies is to solve the missing heritability problem. While considering epistatic interactions among multiple SNPs may contribute to solving this problem, existing software cannot detect statistically significant high-order interactions. We propose software named LAMPLINK, which employs a cutting-edge method to enumerate statistically significa...
متن کاملAccuracy of CNV Detection from GWAS Data
Several computer programs are available for detecting copy number variants (CNVs) using genome-wide SNP arrays. We evaluated the performance of four CNV detection software suites--Birdsuite, Partek, HelixTree, and PennCNV-Affy--in the identification of both rare and common CNVs. Each program's performance was assessed in two ways. The first was its recovery rate, i.e., its ability to call 893 C...
متن کاملInferring statistically significant features from random forests
Embedded feature selection can be performed by analyzing the variables used in a Random Forest. Such a multivariate selection takes into account the interactions between variables but is not straightforward to interpret in a statistical sense. We propose a statistical procedure to measure variable importance that tests if variables are significantly useful in combination with others in a forest...
متن کاملStatistically significant sites
Most of us know less about statistics than we feel we should but, even as a scientist, it’s often not necessary to be an expert. When it comes to presenting your data, or reviewing someone else’s, however, it can help to have a ready reference at your fingertips. Before you run out and buy a textbook or ask advice from a colleague, take a look at what the web has to offer. Sites offering online...
متن کاملStatistically Significant Results
Fortunately, the probability that the process was simply a chance encounter can be calculated, and a minimum threshold of statistical significance can be set. If the results are obtained such that the probability that they are simply a chance process is less than this threshold of significance, then we can say the results have a high probability of not being due to chance. Note that the probabi...
