Comparison of multivariate adaptive regression splines and logistic regression in detecting SNP–SNP interactions and their application in prostate cancer

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) interaction plays a critical role for complex diseases. The primary limitation of logistic regressions (LR) in testing SNP–SNP interactions is that coefficient ...

Combining the transmission disequilibrium test and case–control methodology using generalized logistic regression

To study the role of genetic factors in the etiology, susceptibility, or severity of disease, several methods are available. In a transmission disequilibrium test, genotypes of cases are compared to ...
