Current technologies generate a huge number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype measurements in case-control studies. The resulting multiple testing problem can be ameliorated by considering candidate gene regions. The <Emphasis Type="Bold">minPtest R package provides the first widely accessible...</emphasis>

In multinomial logit models, the identifiability of parameter estimates is typically obtained by side constraints that specify one of the response categories as reference category. When parameters are penalized, shrinkage of estimates should not depend on the reference category. In this paper we...
