MDR Applications

Our multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method has been successfully applied to a wide range of different diseases and clinical traits. Here is an almost complete list of papers that apply MDR to real data. I have sorted them by general disease categories. Please feel free to cite this list in your MDR papers and grants. Email me if you know of a paper that should be on the list. I am sure there are some out there I don't have listed.

This list was last updated by JHM on June 9, 2008.
