+selected variables with additional finite sample error control for
+high-dimensional variable selection procedures such as Lasso or boosting.
+Both, standard stability selection (Meinshausen & Buhlmann, 2010) and
+complementary pairs stability selection with improved error bounds
+(Shah & Samworth, 2013) are implemented.  The package can be combined with
+arbitrary user specified variable selection approaches.")
