LOCUS – Large-scale variational inference for Bayesian variable selection in multiple-response regression

License: GPL v2

Overview

locus is an R package providing efficient variational algorithms for simultaneous variable selection of covariates and associated responses based on multivariate regression models. Dependence across responses linked to the same covariates is captured through the model hierarchical structure (H. Ruffieux, A. C. Davison, J. Hager, I. Irincheeva, Efficient inference for genetic association studies with multiple outcomes, Biostatistics, 18:618–636, 2017).

Installation

To install, run the following command in R:

if(!require(remotes)) install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("hruffieux/locus")

Algorithms

The algorithms for joint covariate and response selection provided in locus implement inference for regression models with

  • identity link;
  • logistic link;
  • probit link;
  • identity-probit link.

Inference on models for group selection and based on a spatial Gaussian process to encode the dependence structure of the candidate predictors are also implemented. Moreover, covariate-level external information variables can be incorporated to inform the selection.
