  • Publication number: 20220383982
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention describe techniques for generating a polygenic risk score generation machine learning framework that integrates an optimal genetic variant refinement model without requiring brute-force traversal of potential parameter spaces defined by various distinct genetic variant sets. In response, various embodiments of the present invention use holistic Bayesian sampling routines to efficiently generate Bayesian evidence numerical estimates for various genetic variant refinement models and select an optimal genetic variant refinement model accordingly. This enables enhancing the accuracy of polygenic risk score generation machine learning frameworks without resorting to computationally resource-intensive traversals of potential parameter spaces defined by various distinct genetic variant sets.
