  1. Percentage and standard deviations are over 100 runs from data \(\mathcal {D}_{2}\) using correlation structure for simulation study 1 with different bag sizes q and correlation thresholds ρ from Adaptive lasso and Bag types B1, B2 and B3 based on Adaptive lasso selection and also from Lasso and Bag types B1, B2 and B3 based on lasso selection
