Abstract:

Imaging genetics involves a deluge of functional and structural data on brain-relevant genetic polymorphisms to provide insights into the neural architecture through which psychopathology may emerge. However, the high-dimensional nature of the data poses a problem on the proliferation of false discoveries. Existing methods suggest a strong regularization to prevent overfitting where the choice of tuning parameters is mostly applicable to low-dimensional data. We propose a class of methods for choosing the optimal ridge parameter and incorporate this in the adaptive Mantel test for evaluating the association of two high-dimensional sets of features. We demonstrate that the optimal value of the ridge penalty can be negative. Simulation studies show that our procedures can control the proportion of false positives with superior empirical power when applied to penalized high-dimensional testing scenarios. The application of our work to an imaging genetics study and a biological study will be presented.
