A comparative study on the unified model based multifactor dimensionality reduction methods for identifying gene-gene interactions associated with the survival phenotype

Abstract Background For gene-gene interaction analysis, the multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method has been widely employed to reduce multi-levels of gene-gene interactions into high- or low-risk groups using a binary attribute. For the survival phenotype, the Cox-MDR method has been prop...
