For Tables 5 and 6: “S” means ”significant” and “N” means “not significant” using significance level α=1.18∗10−5. Note that Lasso-PL, Lasso-AL, and Lasso-Ayers cannot provide exact p-values, but selects significant SNPs while attempting to control the type-1-error rate at level α. One could fit multiple penalized regression models and estimate λ that controls the type-1-error rate at various orders of magnitude (e.g. 10−5,10−6, etc) to get a better idea of the significance of each selected SNP (not done here)
