Table 2.

Simulation Set A (with error in functional predictors) Scenarios 2 and 4. Each set of values corresponds to the mean(sd) scalar covariates selected, mean(sd) functional covariates selected for each setting and method. Top: Mean(sd) number of correctly identified moderators. The best case is 3 true scalar and 2 true functional moderators selected. Bottom: Mean(sd) number of covariates that are incorrectly identified as moderators. The best case is 0 spurious scalar and 0 spurious functional covariates selected.

Mean number of correctly identified moderators.
