In particular, values of S approaching to zero are indicative of a direct interaction between the two dependent variables (i.e., low sensitivity to the miRNA), whereas values close to the Pearson correlation vaue are indicative of an indirect interaction, suggesting a leading contribution of the explanatory variable (i.e., high sensitivity to the miRNA).
