Genetic Association Studies: An Information Content Perspective
The availability of high-density single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data has made the human genetic association studies possible to identify common and rare variants underlying complex diseases in a genome-wide scale. A handful of novel genetic variants have been identified, which gives much hope and prospects for the future of genetic association studies. In this process, statistical and c...
متن کاملRecognition: an Information Content Perspective
We review the historical and contemporary literature on the recognition issue. First, in a historical perspective, two debates stand out: historical cost as the basis for asset valuation and realization as the basic test for income determination. These debates are related to the recognition issue. Second, the economic foundations of the information content perspective are reviewed. The decision...
متن کاملThe Information Content of Accounting Reports: An Information Theory Perspective
Is it possible to quantify the information content of accounting reports? If possible, then how? This study examines accounting as a classical communication system with the purpose of providing a framework with which to approach these fundamentally important questions. Information theory was established in the early-mid 20th century to describe the properties of classical communication systems....
متن کاملA perspective on interaction effects in genetic association studies
The identification of gene-gene and gene-environment interaction in human traits and diseases is an active area of research that generates high expectation, and most often lead to high disappointment. This is partly explained by a misunderstanding of the inherent characteristics of standard regression-based interaction analyses. Here, I revisit and untangle major theoretical aspects of interact...
متن کاملQuantifying the amount of missing information in genetic association studies.
Many genetic analyses are done with incomplete information; for example, unknown phase in haplotype-based association studies. Measures of the amount of available information can be used for efficient planning of studies and/or analyses. In particular, the linkage disequilibrium (LD) between two sets of markers can be interpreted as the amount of information one set of markers contains for test...
