In the synthetic data sets, 'Good' type genes have the strongest degree of monotonicity followed in order with 'Slightly', 'Moderately', and 'Severely' monotonic type genes.
However, the relationship between gene-body DNA methylation and gene expression levels is not monotonic but rather bell-shaped in plants, invertebrates, and even in humans; moderately expressed genes have the highest methylation levels [ 32, 36, 37].
In addition, each data set has 120 genes which are classified into 9 types of monotonic genes (or monotonic-like genes): 'Good (distinct)', 'Good (close)', 'Slightly', 'Outliers (slight)', 'Outliers (severe)', 'Moderately', 'Severely', 'Partially ordered (far)', and 'Partially ordered (close)'.
Specifically, as hypothesized, the individual items have strong, monotonic associations with the Intermediate Activities of Daily Living Scale and the index score has moderately strong correlations (Spearman r = 0.44 to 0.64) with the WOMAC functional status scale, the Basic and Intermediate ADL Scores and a 0 100 rating scale of self-perceived overall health.
