Measured effects reported in the paper
| What was changed | Where | Measured | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| use DSTUMP instead of Lasso/SIS under linear uncorrelated design | SIS/Lasso · simulated linear model, uncorrelated design | support recovery fraction | Hurt |
| use DSTUMP instead of SIS under mildly correlated design | SIS · simulated linear model, correlated design | support recovery fraction | No clear effect |
| use DSTUMP instead of SIS and Lasso with exponential nonlinearity | SIS/Lasso · simulated additive exp model | support recovery fraction | Helped |
| use TREEWEIGHT (multi-level trees) instead of DSTUMP with interaction terms | DSTUMP · simulated interaction models | support recovery fraction | Helped |
| use impurity-based TREEWEIGHT instead of permutation importance | TREEWEIGHT-permutation · simulated models | support recovery fraction | Helped |
