The plots display the concordance indices for signalling entropy and a microarray based approximation of OncotypeDX in each data set alongside 95% confidence intervals .

The vertical line denotes concordance index = 0.5, data sets Where the confidence interval for the concordance index crosses this line did not reach significance.

6, along with bootstrap confidence intervals derived from 14 resamplings of our original data.

Naturally, the width of the confidence intervals in Fig.

These resamplings were used to derive some of the correction terms for V, and also to derive confidence intervals on our final estimators, as shown in Fig.

We defined WC 2 exp(aC), used noninformative normal priors (with zero mean and large standard deviation) for the parameters ac, and employed Gibbs sampling to obtain the posterior distributions of pC, for which we report the average as well as (2.5%,97.5%) confidence intervals .

While best estimates of the probabilities pC are well approximated by the pooled fractions, the larger confidence intervals obtained by Bayesian inference reflect the variations in the different trajectories.

However, it is noted that the calculated confidence intervals for frequencies of the specific interfaces are quite broad and overlapping, and therefore the estimated differences between the three OR subtypes may not be as relevant as they appear to be.
