Learning Rate

Definition
AI-generated

The learning rate sets the step size (or schedules its scale) for parameter updates during optimization; too large a rate can diverge, too small can stall or overfit slowly.

Why it matters in GWAS

When fine-tuning genomic encoders or PRS neural heads, learning-rate choices influence whether the model exploits spurious LD structure; ablations should report rate and schedule alongside architecture.

Example usage

"Learning Rate appears in the methods to support interpretation of the primary results."
