Furthermore, we provide a set of cutoffs for PCT for detection or exclusion of bacterial infection in ICU patients with potential 2009 H1N1 influenza.
A set of default cutoffs have been preset for convenience; however, user can freely customize results by modifying cutoff values in respective forms.
Futility adds a second set of cutoff Z-values that are close to zero, indicative of a small difference between treatment means.
We did not use a single set of cutoff values to identify orthologs.
Authors' response: A single set of cutoff values was not used because different types of genes evolve at different rates.
To achieve this, a set of highly stringent cutoff criteria were employed to define the "quantifiable proteins", so that only proteins with high-quality AUC data and confident identification were considered.
Under a highly stringent set of cutoff criteria, the time courses of a cohort of drug-responsive proteins were obtained.
All these components use a set of parameters and cutoffs to perform target identification or prediction, and their performance depends on the selection of cutoffs, with a lower cutoff generating more targets and a high cutoff generating fewer targets.
Because the top-ranked genes are more important than the lower ranked genes, we highlighted a set of false positive cutoffs for the ROC curves and compared the corresponding average AUCs between methods.
Aligned reads can then be submitted to a set of filters including cutoffs on average base call qualities, number of allowed uncalled bases, by the size of runs of the same base at the head and tail of the reads, by read complexity as measured by a complexity score, by number of valid alignments, by number of reads with the same sequence, by genomic regions and other parameters.
