Table 2 Results from simulations

The table summarizes the inaccuracy of the fast selection algorithm applied to data sets simulated under two models for Duroc chromosome 1: the skeleton, and the more complex LD graph shown in Figure 2. The columns labelled undershoot and overshoot show |E∖E_j| and |E_j∖E|, where E and E_j are the edge sets of the true model and the model found by the algorithm, respectively. For the data sets simulated under the skeleton, the edgewise false negative rate $\frac{1}{10 | E |} \sum_{j} | E ∖ E_{j} |$ is 0.029 and the false positive rate $\frac{1}{10 | E |} \sum_{j} | E_{j} ∖ E |$ is 0.00024. Under the more complex LD graph, the corresponding rates are 0.031 and 0.019.
