For the first kx/km set (designated as set u), kx and km were 1.0 and 0.0, respectively.
The second set, designated as S-words, exemplifies slang words and other novel vernacular language.
The first set, designated as true (healthy) normals was comprised of pooled CSF from 11 healthy normal individual volunteers from the United States (8 women and 3 men; aged 24 to 55 years with a median age of 28 years) was used for the comprehensive analysis using immunoaffinity depletion and 2D-LC-MS/MS.
A third set, designated as non-neurologic surrogate-normals, was a pool of 200 subjects from Sweden (all without a neurologic or psychiatric disease, most who underwent lumbar puncture for non diagnostic reasons; over 90% were undergoing spinal anesthesia in preparation for orthopedic surgery (e.g. limbs-knees and hips)).
Our third set, designated as SC_All, is composed of features that require extensive experimentation, in addition to all easily obtainable features, so that we could assess the impact of neglecting experimental data on our prediction accuracy.
We also calculated an additional baseline by selecting identical numbers of genes as the GLEG method from (i) the set of all KEGG genes, designated as the SKG (single KEGG gene) method and (ii) all genes (designated as SG).
HYDRA and VariationHunter choose one alignment per read from a set of possibilities to designate as correct.
Thus a random selection of 10% of the observed scattering profile, in five contiguous blocks of 2%, was removed from the data set and designated as a control set.
In our study, the first p16-M and p16-U set is designated as CDKN2A MSP1 while the second p16-M2 and p16-U2 set is designated as CDKN2A MSP2.
In our study, the first PTEN-I-M and PTEN-I-U set is designated as PTEN MSP1 while the second PTEN-III-M and PTEN-III-U set is designated as PTEN MSP2.
The first set is designated as P-words because they refer to products (such as gnome, a desktop environment introduced in 1998) and public figures (such as eminem, a rapper popular from the late 1990's).
