Species should instead be defined as cluster concepts (Hull 1965) or recognized to be individuals (i.e. spatio-temporally restricted, historically contingent particulars) to which organisms belong as parts, and not classes, sets, or natural kinds at all (Ghiselin 1974; Hull 1978).

A ratio between total rough entropy (TotalRE) and maximum total rough entropy (MaxRE) is defined as cluster purity with following format [23]: text{Purity}(C_{i})= text{TotalRE}(C_{i}))/text{MaxRE} (3).

Calendar years with a PD control ratio of 1.66 or greater were defined as "cluster years".

For the first- and second-level whole-brain analyses, statistical significance was defined as cluster size ≥5, p ≤.001 uncorrected, and p ≤.05, FDR-corrected for multiple comparisons.

Potential non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) transmission clusters were defined as cluster including only sequences with at least one NNRTI TDRM with >70% bootstrap support and a mean genetic distance of <0.03 nucleotide substitutions per site [ 15, 16].

The false-discovery-rate (FDR) [38] threshold of p<0.05 was adopted to deal with the problem of multiple comparisons by automatically defining a statistical significance threshold ensuring that the average rate of false positives among the voxels activated would be less than p. Activated brain regions were defined as clusters consisting of more than 10 contiguous voxels.
