Knockoffs provide a general framework for controlling the false discovery rate when performing variable selection. Much of the Knockoffs literature focuses on theoretical challenges and we recognize a need for bringing some of the current…

One challenge in exploratory association studies using observational data is that the associations between the predictors and the outcome are potentially weak and rare, and the candidate predictors have complex correlation structures. False…
