In the population tested, all serum samples corresponding to subjects within the third and fourth weeks after positive diagnosis exhibited absorbance values 2.0 to 4.5 times higher than samples from negative volunteers (Figure 7).
In a second experiment, 14 samples corresponding to subjects with HI titters equal or higher than 40 (conventionally considered as exposed to the virus based on the HI assay) were tested by ELISA.
The Test Set MCI is composed by 47 samples corresponding to subjects with MCI as illustrated in Figure 1.
We excluded about 19% of the cohort members living in the Munich metropolitan area, corresponding to subjects who were likely to have changed home address during pregnancy, because we had no information on their previous addresses.
We analyzed the EEG raw signals from both subjects, and the ones corresponding to subject 2 presented many more EEG artifacts.

For notational convention, we will let Y i denote the binary outcome for subject i, X ij denote the continuous measurement corresponding to subject i at visit j (occurring at time t ij, with time measured in units of gestational days), and Z ij denote the vector of covariates where i = 1, …, N and j = 1, …, n.
Based on the LBP prevalence of 57% in the pilot study, a total of at least 643 subjects with baseline measurements of both exposure and LBP are needed for this study, corresponding to 276 subjects with LBP = 0 and 367 subjects with LBP > 0.
Ratings of fullness, discomfort, hunger, and desire for food, collected during the empty and full balloon conditions were averaged across fMRI runs, independently for GD1 and GD2 and for each subject; the rating datasets corresponding to 4 subjects were lost due to data acquisition problems.
To assess the performance of our statistical tests, a human Affymetrix microarray dataset corresponding to 47 subjects with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and 25 subjects with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), as previously described by Golub and colleagues [5], was downloaded from: http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/johnm/r/hddplot/.anu.edu.au/johnm/r/hddplot/
We excluded 1,387 (6.2%) results with either incomplete data on subjects' identification or based on fewer than 100 metaphases; we also excluded 257 assays corresponding to 117 subjects with a diagnosis of cancer before the date of the first assay.
