Enhancing the Lasso Approach for Developing a Survival Prediction Model Based on Gene Expression Data

Table 1

Typical results of gene selection by the lasso.

True condition	The lasso
	Select	No select
Genes that are not correlated with survival; (none-outcome-predictive genes)	False positive; (FP)	True negative; (TN)
Genes that are truly correlated with survival; (outcome-predictive genes)	True positive; (TP)	False negative; (FN)
