Genome-wide association analysis by lasso penalized logistic regression
TLDR
The performance of lasso penalized logistic regression in case-control disease gene mapping with a large number of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) predictors is evaluated and coeliac disease results replicate the previous SNP results and shed light on possible interactions among the SNPs.Abstract:
Motivation: In ordinary regression, imposition of a lasso penalty makes continuous model selection straightforward. Lasso penalized regression is particularly advantageous when the number of predictors far exceeds the number of observations.
Method: The present article evaluates the performance of lasso penalized logistic regression in case–control disease gene mapping with a large number of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) predictors. The strength of the lasso penalty can be tuned to select a predetermined number of the most relevant SNPs and other predictors. For a given value of the tuning constant, the penalized likelihood is quickly maximized by cyclic coordinate ascent. Once the most potent marginal predictors are identified, their two-way and higher order interactions can also be examined by lasso penalized logistic regression.
Results: This strategy is tested on both simulated and real data. Our findings on coeliac disease replicate the previous SNP results and shed light on possible interactions among the SNPs.
Availability: The software discussed is available in Mendel 9.0 at the UCLA Human Genetics web site.

The linkage disequilibrium lasso for SNP selection in genetic association studies
TL;DR: A statistical method designed for a genetic association signal that is more representative of the remaining disease susceptibility SNPs, and is an adaptation of the fused LASSO used for subset selection in a regression framework when the signal is sparse and block-like.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing
Yoav Benjamini,Yosef Hochberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.
