Table 1

Variation of Pooled Sample intensities from Individual Sample intensities, using independent clustering (A) or imposed clustering (B).

Set, Significance level
Number of peak clusters in pooled samples retained for analysis
Median number of SDs pooled control cluster intensities are from mean individual sample intensities (IQR)
Median number of SDs pooled case cluster intensities are from mean individual sample intensities (IQR)
Median number of SEs pooled sample case to control ratios are from means of individual sample ratios (IQR)
Proportion of pooled sample case to control intensity ratios that lie less than 0.25 SEs from means of individual sample ratios
