Screening large-scale association study data: exploiting interactions using random forests

TL;DR: In the context of large-scale genetic association studies where unknown interactions exist among true risk-associated SNPs or SNPs and environmental covariates, screening SNPs using random forest analyses can significantly reduce the number of SNPs that need to be retained for further study compared to standard univariate screening methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying SNPs predictive of phenotype using random forests.

TL;DR: This work extends the concept of importance to pairs of predictors, to capture joint effects, and explores the behavior of importance measures over a range of two‐locus disease models in the presence of a varying number of SNPs unassociated with the phenotype.
