The results of the cross-validated LASSO-penalized logistic regression for the full dataset are shown. For each regression the penalty parameter (λ) and the selected covariates (separated by commas) are given. For every model where metabolites were selected, the significance of the presence of all of the selected metabolites in the model, compared with the model without presence of metabolites, is tested in a global test, and its P value is given here. Note that the P value is only for the metabolites, not for the clinical covariates.
