Table 2.
Regressions selected by BMSS for various values of pmax in the lymph node status data. The standard error associated with the 5-fold cross-validation Brier score is given in parentheses. The number of variables that appear in the top regressions is given in column Variables, while the number of top regressions is given in column Regressions. The last column shows whether tumor size was present in the top regressions
