Table 3.

Simulation results to evaluate the proposed penalized likelihood method with Lasso penalty when p > n, where the candidate regulators were simulated as continuous variables. five-fold CV (Lasso1)), 5-fold two-stage CV (Lasso2) and the BIC (Lasso3) are used to select the tuning parameter λ. As a comparison, results from single variable analysis based on the likelihood ratio test using p-value of 0.05 (LR1) and p-value of 0.05/p (LR2) are also presented. For each procedure, the column labeled with C (or IC) represents the average number of correctly (or incorrectly) identified variables and their SEs, and E represents the percentage of the simulations that identify the three relevant variables exactly
