SConES / Multi-SConES
:: DESCRIPTION
SConES (Selecting Connected Explanatory SNPs) is a network-guided multi-locus association mapping methods. It allows for the discovery genetic loci that are maximally associated with a phenotype, and tend to be connected on an underlying network. This network can be constructed from a gene-gene interaction network (based on proximity), or in any way such that you believe that neighboring SNPs should tend to be selected together.
Multi-SConES is a multi-task version of SConES. This method achieves multi-task feature selection coupled with multiple network regularizers using a maximum-flow algorithm.
