                            Complex diseases are often characterized by continuous phenotypic traits. However, many multi-omics analysis methods either do not incorporate traits, or only consider binary traits. We developed a generalized tensor canonical correlation analysis (GTCCA) approach for integrating multiple -omics data types along with a quantitative phenotype of interest to construct multi-omics networks specific to the phenotype. We used simulations to assess the ability of GTCCA to capture higher-order relationships among -omics datasets compared to non-tensor based approaches. As a case study, we applied this approach to a data set on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to infer multi-omics networks associated with airflow obstruction.  In addition to the flexibility of handling multiple -omics data sets, the GTCCA method can be easily generalized to incorporate multiple quantitative phenotypes simultaneously.
