Jessie Jeng"],"abstract":"Yang et al. (2013) introduced LORS, a method that jointly models the expression of genes, SNPs, and hidden factors for eQTL mapping. LORS solves a convex optimization problem and has guaranteed convergence. However, it can be computationally expensive for large datasets. In this paper we introduce Fast-LORS which uses the proximal gradient method to solve the LORS problem with significantly reduced computational burden. We apply Fast-LORS and LORS to data from the third phase of the International HapMap Project and obtain comparable results. Nevertheless, Fast-LORS shows substantial computational improvement compared to LORS.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1805.05170v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1805.05170v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"fastlors-joint-modeling-for-eqtl-mapping-in-r","repo_url":"https://github.com/jdrhyne2/FastLORS","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
