Curse of dimensionality and statistical significance are terms I used in my comment. I'm quite aware of the statistical methods and am a bit confused about how they avoid the dimensionality problem.
I'm pretty sure I could get statistical significance for any trait with a highly dimensional dataset.
- dooglius 7y agoRather than making armchair dismissals, consider looking at the paper and its citations which discuss the statistical methods used. From a cursory glance, it looks like they use a standard model of how genes affect traits, which uses O(N) parameters for N genes, so the "curse of dimensionality" would not apply.
- superpermutat0r 7y agoWhen there's thousands of genes then it applies.
