Abstract
MOTIVATION: Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-SNP interactions (SSIs) are popular markers for understanding disease susceptibility. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) can successfully detect considerable SSIs. Currently, MDR-based methods mainly adopt a single-objective function (a single measure based on contingency tables) to detect SSIs. However, generally, a single-measure function might not yield favorable results due to potential model preferences and disease complexities.
