MBMDR 4.4.1 – Model-Based Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction

MBMDR 4.4.1

:: DESCRIPTION

MBMDR (model-based multifactor dimensionality reduction) is a software that is able to detect multiple sets of significant gene-gene and/or gene-environment interactions in relation to a trait of interest, while efficiently controlling type I error rates. The trait can either be expressed on a binary scale, or on a continuous scale.

MDR 3.0.2 – Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction

MDR 3.0.2

:: DESCRIPTION

MDR is a data mining strategy for detecting and characterizing nonlinear interactions among discrete attributes (e.g. SNPs, smoking, gender, etc.) that are predictive of a discrete outcome (e.g. case-control status). The MDR software combines attribute selection, attribute construction and classification with cross-validation to provide a powerful approach to modeling interactions.

GRAST 1.0 – Genome Reduction Analysing Software Tool

GRAST 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

GRAST allows the user to analyse genome reduction by whole genome comparison between a reduced genome and a reference genome (a close relative to the reduced genome). A number of the options in GRAST can also be used for a whole genome comparison of non-reduced genomes.
