We performed a principal component analysis and discriminant analysis (PCA-DA, in which discriminating components are calculated with foreknowledge of the samples) on all ion features.
Additional discriminating components in the tested sera included the sphingomyelins SM C18 0 (the only saturated lipid), SM C18 1, SM C24:1 and SM C26:1 as well as the hydroxy-sphingomyelines SM OH) C22 1, SM (OH) C22 2 and SM (OH) C24:1.
Gunnar [8] suggested a method that achieves a soft margin by introducing slack variables, and Joo [9] suggested the approach that discriminates component classifiers in such a way that the early stage classifier is for high recall rate while the late stage classifier is for high precision rate.
Open Babel takes the atoms as they appear in the input file, without generating extra atoms by symmetry or discriminating disordered components, so the input CIF is not always the original file present in the COD, but, in many cases, it is the result of applying cif_molecule to that file as described in "Building the molecule" section.
The i-th index discriminates the component within the multipath, and Npaths is the number of impinging paths at the receiver.
For discriminating a hydrostatic component of the edema (that is, PAOP ≥18 mm Hg), VPW ≥72 mm demonstrated 61.4% sensitivity (95% CI 47 to 74%) and 61% specificity (49 to 71%) (area under the curve (AUC) 0.69; P = 0.001).
MCWT has also been employed to extract two complementary wavelet skeleton spectra to discriminate the components of periodicities and of hierarchies of discontinuities from several large-size time series represent solar activity records [27].
In this section, we summarise briefly the published evidence on: 1) the ability of the MDP items to discriminate the components of dyspnoea; 2) its construct validity (i.e. whether it measures what it is supposed to measure); 3) its responsiveness; and 4) its internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
The LLFDI also showed strong known-groups validity with both components discriminating between groups based on various functional, demographic and medical categories.
