Table 1.

Values of VIMTrio and the adjusted importance measures VIMLD and VIMAdj for the top five interactions found in the application of trioFS to one of the simulated trio data sets that resulted in the value of VIMTrio closest to the median of the 100 VIMTrio values. The interaction term S3DS7D that specifies disease risk in this simulation is the most important finding. The other interactions also contain this term, and thus, the variable importance measure VIMAdj that allows for this type of over-fitting is boosted. Since SNPs were not in linkage disequilibrium in this simulation, the values for the importance measures VIMLD and VIMTrio are identical
