Instead of quartile that was used for (a) and (b), (z_{mathrm{min}}) and (z_{mathrm{med}}) are now chosen to optimise to achieve the highest hit patent probability, resulting the maximum probability as high as almost 9% shown in Figure 7, the full extent of the influence of the categories, with an almost doubling over the background hit patent rate for (c).
Furthermore, we classified the HOMA-IR score based on its tertile instead of quartile.
