Moment expressions for individual factor scores can serve as simple tests for the presence of a particular class of interaction factors that are disguised as pure genetic and/or environmental factors. That is, individual genetic and environmental factor scores may be used to construct fourth-order m

Abstract
Interest is increasing in epistasis as a possible source of the unexplained variance missed by genome‐wide association studies. The Genetic Analysis Workshop 16 Group 9 participants evaluated a wide variety of classical and novel analytical methods for detecting epistasis, in both the statistical and machine learning paradigms, applied to both real and simulated data. Because the magnitude of epistasis is clearly relative to scale of penetrance, and therefore to some extent, to the choice of model framework, it is not surprising that strong interactions under one model might be minimized or even disappear entirely under a different modeling framework.

## Abstract Despite tremendous efforts, few genes involved in the susceptibility for complex disorders have been identified. One explanation is that these disorders are a result of an interaction between genes and environment, and under such conditions, it may be difficult to measure the true genet
