Penalized regression approaches to testing for quantitative trait-rare variant association
In statistical data analysis, penalized regression is considered an attractive approach for its ability of simultaneous variable selection and parameter estimation. Although penalized regression methods have shown many advantages in variable selection and outcome prediction over other approaches for high-dimensional data, there is a relative paucity of the literature on their applications to hy...
متن کاملMultilocus association testing with penalized regression.
In multilocus association analysis, since some markers may not be associated with a trait, it seems attractive to use penalized regression with the capability of automatic variable selection. On the other hand, in spite of a rapidly growing body of literature on penalized regression, most focus on variable selection and outcome prediction, for which penalized methods are generally more effectiv...
متن کاملThe value of statistical or bioinformatics annotation for rare variant association with quantitative trait.
In the past few years, a plethora of methods for rare variant association with phenotype have been proposed. These methods aggregate information from multiple rare variants across genomic region(s), but there is little consensus as to which method is most effective. The weighting scheme adopted when aggregating information across variants is one of the primary determinants of effectiveness. Her...
متن کاملFirth logistic regression for rare variant association tests
In association tests of sites with low minor allele frequency or count, it is known that single-variant tests are impractical to use because the results from which will be either underpowered or unreliable. Joint analyses by pooling or “collapsing” multiple variants based on annotated gene group information are thus more preferred in rare variant association tests. However, the issue remains in...
متن کاملOn Robust Association Testing for Quantitative Traits and Rare Variants
With the advance of sequencing technologies, it has become a routine practice to test for association between a quantitative trait and a set of rare variants (RVs). While a number of RV association tests have been proposed, there is a dearth of studies on the robustness of RV association testing for nonnormal distributed traits, e.g., due to skewness, which is ubiquitous in cohort studies. By e...
