摘要
Genetical genomics data present promising opportunities for integrating gene expression and genotype information. Lin et al. (2015) proposed an instrumental variables (IV) regression framework to select important genes with high-dimensional genetical genomics data. The IV regression addresses the issue of endogeneity caused by potential correlations between gene expressions and error terms, thereby improving gene selection performance. Knowing that genes function in networks to fulfill their joint task, incorporating network structures into a regression model can further enhance gene selection performance. In this presentation, I will introduce a graph-constrained penalized IV regression framework for high-dimensional genetical genomic data, aiming to improve gene selection performance by incorporating gene network structures. We propose a two-step estimation procedure that adopts a network-constrained regularization method and establishes selection consistency. Furthermore, considering that gene expressions are time-dependent, we extend the framework to allow for the effect of gene expressions to vary over time within a varying-coefficients IV regression framework. We demonstrate the utility of our method through simulations and real data analysis.
