For each isolate in the panels, we defined a reference pattern as the pattern that matched exactly by the greatest number of laboratories; in 62% of isolates, at least five of eight results matched exactly.
The template matching (TM) is a widely used technique in pattern recognition, where the presence of a pattern in an image is detected by comparing different parts of an image with a reference pattern known as template.
This is the case when n curves of healthy subjects are compared with a reference pattern obtained as their mean.
In this method, a reference pattern is organized, and an adaptability of input pattern with reference pattern is reduced.
Since the training pattern set is used as a known dictionary in the nearest neighbor method, each training pattern is often called a reference pattern.
As an IAA reference pattern, vProtein uses the pattern in the 2005 dietary reference intake (DRI) published by the Food and Nutrition Board [8].
Using the codon bias of ribosomal ORFs as a reference, a pattern similar to that of the highly expressed genes in the three different groupings was observed, but this tendency was clearly detected when the HV and AV grouping was compared.
To this end, we should use as a reference the patterns that take into account overweight or obesity cut-offs in adults (25 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m).
The first group was composed by individuals exhibiting genotype 0 for the N SNPs, i.e., carrying the frequent allele at homozygous state for the N SNPs; this group, theoretically the most frequent group in the study cohort, was set as a reference, and the relating combination of genotypes was considered as the "reference pattern" exhibiting a null or very weak effect on CRC risk.
A reasonable score parameter is the ratio of the "0-offset" peak MP0 0) to some measure of the fluctuation in the score as the reference pattern is translated.
