ENC: The baseline penalized regression model. Elastic net with λ optimal=λ ENC derived from cross-validation (CV), Ensembles based on 100 subsamples: PS: Meinshausen & Bühlmann’s algorithm with a single λ optimal=λ MB selected to minimize the expected number of false positives, LS: Single λ optimal=λ ENC with no variable selection, SS: Stability selection across the entire 100 λΛ grid with no variable selection, Ensembles based on 100 resamples: PR, LR, SR: Identical to PS, PR and LR, respectively, with model space constructed through resampling. BMA: Bayesian model averaging with expected model size (EMS) = 1, BMAC: BMA with EMS determined by CV (E M S CV).
