  • Predicting phenotypes using a probabilistic predictor
    Patent number: 8315957
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to predicting phenotypes. In aspects, a probabilistic predictor is used to summarize a relationship between a set of biological predictors and a phenotype. The probabilistic predictor may use a function that is selected based on the type of the phenotype (e.g., binary, multi-state, or continuous). The probabilistic predictor may use genetic and/or epigenetic information. The probabilistic predictor may be trained on a portion of the data in conjunction with predicting phenotypes in another portion of the data. The probabilistic predictor may be used for various analyses including genome-wide association analysis and gene-set enrichment analysis.
    Type: Grant
