Covariate-adjusted precision matrix estimation with an application in genetical genomics
协变量调整的精度矩阵估计及其遗传基因组学应用
Motivated by analysis of genetical genomics data, we introduce a sparse high-dimensional multivariate regression model for studying conditional independence relationships among a set of genes adjusting for possible genetic effects. The precision matrix in the model specifies a covariate-adjusted Gaussian graph, which presents the conditional dependence structure of gene expression after the confounding genetic effects on gene expression are taken into account. We present a…
