An ensemble of the iCluster method to analyze longitudinal lncRNA expression data for psoriasis patients

Table 2 Comparison between iCluster-ensemble and competing methods

Method	Are feature selection and classifier construction separate	Size	Predictive error
iCluster-ensemble	Yes	20	20%
iCluster	Yes	20	46.47%
GEE-based screening	Yes	20	33.33%
EDGE	Yes	27	43.33%
LASSO	No	0.43^a	46.67%
LASSO-ensemble	Yes	20	26.67%

^aSince LASSO builds up the final model simultaneously with feature selection, the sizes of final model differ in single LOO runs. Here, the average of the sizes over resulting 30 LASSO models is given. Predictive error corresponds to the leave-one-out error (LOO) rate
