Applications of multifactor dimensionality reduction to genome-wide data using the R package 'MDR'.

This chapter describes how to use the R package 'MDR' to search and identify gene-gene interactions in high-dimensional data and illustrates applications for exploratory analysis of multi-locus models by providing specific examples.
