The most common form of genetic variations are the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Logic regression is a powerful statistical tool for identifying interactions of SNPs that might be associated with a disease. Logic regression however only finds a single best fitting model for the data, while usually there are many models that fit almost equally well. The author Arno Fritsch shows how by embedding logic regression in the framework of Bayesian statistics this drawback can be overcome. The book gives an introduction to both logic regression and Bayesian statistics and shows how the two can be combined. It is demonstrated that considering more than one plausible logic regression model can substantially improve predictions of the disease status. The book is intended for bioinformaticians, epidemiologists and statisticians involved in analyzing SNP data.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arno Fritsch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639051300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639051308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Arno Fritsch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113837768959,"sku":"9783639051308","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd3d52c0-64e9-4671-b968-8886c5e34516.jpg?v=1769617505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bayesian-logic-regression-for-snp-arno-fritsch-9783639051308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
