  1. Predictions using leave-one-out-cross-validation (see text for details). Results shown are mean absolute predictive errors ± SEM for the following methods: Bayesian variable selection (BVS) with biologically informative pathway-based prior with source and strength parameters set by empirical Bayes, BVS with flat prior, BVS with ‘incorrect’ prior (contradicting empirical Bayes; see text for details), BVS with a Markov random field (MRF) prior, Lasso regression, penalised-likelihood approach proposed by Li and Li[21], and a baseline linear regression without interaction terms including all 11 predictors. ‘+int’ denotes linear model with interaction terms. For BVS, predictions made using the posterior predictive distribution with exact model averaging (‘MA’) and using the maximum a posteriori model (‘MAP’).
