Abstract

Summarizing an aggregate contribution to a characteristic for an individual is disclosed, including determining the characteristic to be evaluated, identifying one or more markers associated with the characteristic, retrieving the measurement of the individual for each of the one or more markers from a database of individuals' markers, retrieving a statistical factor that measures the association between the marker associated with the characteristic and the characteristic for each of the one or more markers from the marker database, and determining the aggregate contribution based at least in part on the retrieved statistical factors.
