- Display of the disease classification masks for ten sequential
5-year survivor and 5-year nonsurvivor AML patients
(fig.2A).
- The masks
fig.3
for the reference patients ( > 5-year,
> 2 year survival) typically contain a majority of (0)
characters because the parameter values are located between the lower and upper
percentile thresholds (10/90, 15/85, 20/80, 25/75 or 30/70%) of the respective value distributions.
As an example, in case of the 10/90% percentile pair, 80% of the values are located between
both percentile thresholds that is they are (0), 10% are below (-) the lower and 10% above (+) the
upper percentile thresholds.
- Unknown patients are classified according to highest positional
coincidence of their patient classification mask with any one of
the disease classification masks.
- The degree of coincidence between the patient mask
and the best fitting disease mask is expressed by
the disease coincidence factor. The coincidence factor
is 1.00 for patients #100073 and #080055 (arrows) with four
triple matrix characters (0) and three characters (-)
despite the fact that not all triple matrix characters are (0).
This is because triple matrix characters not occuring in the
disease classification mask of 5-year nonsurvivors count
as positional coincidences for 5-year survivors.
- This results in 19 correctly classified patient at 1
misclassification (#300040).
- The patient disease masks labelled a) and b) are
repetitive. The systematic analysis of disease masks
may permit to define leukemia subgroups characterized by certain
preferential molecular CD expression patterns.
