Systems and methods for predicting likely phenotypic outcomes using
mathematical models and given genetic, phenotypic and/or clinical data of
an individual, and also relevant aggregated medical data consisting of
genotypic, phenotypic, and/or clinical data from germane patient
subpopulations are provided. In one embodiment, support vector machines
may be used to create non-linear models, or LASSO techniques may be used
to create linear models, both of which are trained using convex
optimization techniques to make the models sparse. In another embodiment,
phenotypic predictions may be made using models based on contingency
tables for genetic data that can be constructed from data available in
genomic databases.
