Model selection in irregular problems: Applications to mapping quantitative trait loci

Biometrika, 2004, vol. 91, issue 4, 785-800

Abstract: Two methods of model selection are discussed for changepoint-like problems, especially those arising in genetic linkage analysis. The first is a method that selects the model with the smallest p-value, while the second is a modification of the Bayes information criterion. The methods are compared theoretically and on examples from the literature. For these examples, they are roughly comparable although the p-value-based method is somewhat more liberal in selecting a high-dimensional model. Copyright 2004, Oxford University Press.
