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.

A Multivariate Framework for Variable Selection and Identification of Biomarkers in High-Dimensional Omics Data
TL;DR: A multivariate framework for variable selection that explicitly accounts for the correlation among markers is introduced and two novel quantities for variable importance are presented: the correlation-adjusted t (CAT) score for classification, and the correlations-adjusted CAR score for regression.

Simple Disentanglement of Style and Content in Visual Representations
TL;DR: This paper proposed a post-processing framework to disentangle content and style in learned representations from pre-trained vision models, which can yield significant domain generalization performance improvements when the distribution shift occurs due to style changes or style-related spurious correlations.

Impact of anaesthesia on static and dynamic functional connectivity in mice
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the static and dynamic functional connectivity between awake and anaesthetized mice by resting-state fMRI and found that the static functional connectivity showed a widespread decrease under anaesthesia, such as when under isoflurane or a mixture of isof lurane and medetomidine.

Driver gene detection through Bayesian network integration of mutation and expression profiles
TL;DR: The proposed BNI method provides an effective approach to address tumor heterogeneity faced by personalized medicine and first captures inherent structural information to construct a functional gene mutation network, and then extracts the driver genes and correlated pathways using the minimum cover subset method.

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.

TL;DR: It is proved that replacing the usual quadratic regularizing penalties by weighted 𝓁p‐penalized penalties on the coefficients of such expansions, with 1 ≤ p ≤ 2, still regularizes the problem.
