The difference between continuous and discrete variables was compared using student's t-test and chi square tests respectively and p<0.01 was used to classify difference between two groups as significant.
We classified differences between men and women as "insignificant", "favors men", "favors women", or "conflicting".
We classified differences as "insignificant" if point estimates of relative treatment effects of men and women were within a range of 25% relative risk reduction or increase.
SVMs are designed for classifying differences between two stimuli and LibSVM (the SVM package implemented here) uses the so-called 'one-against-one method' for each pair-wise discrimination (Hsu and Lin, 2002).

These statistics include box-plots, abundance-area curves, Moran's I, and classified difference.
DNA sequencing: Sequencing nucleic acids at a particular genetic locus allows to identify interspecies differences and genetically classify different serovars.
Finally, since the absolute differences in the durations were less than three minutes, we do not classify these differences, despite statistical significant, as being clinically relevant.
To classify the differences concerning adhesion and integrity between the tested scaffolds, we modified the scoring system developed by Bekkers et al. [ 23]. Outline attachment, area coverage, scaffold integrity, and endpoint fixation were assessed and a corresponding score was determined in a 5-point scale (Table 1).
