VIM rankings in Scenario 2. Average ranking in reverse order (a high number refers to high importance) for each VIM, for mtry =3 and mtry =12. The code of each VIM appears in the figure legend. As the y axis of the figure is flipped, 12 indicates a very important variable, whereas 1 a low important predictor. Theoretically, the true representation would be in this figure: 10.5, 10.5, 7.5, 3.5, 10.5, 10.5, 7.5, 3.5, 3.5, 3.5, 3.5, 3.5
