Table 2 Min-max, median, and interquartile range (Q1–Q3) of the DFA scaling exponents α1 and α2 for ECGs (n = 18) and the hiPSC-CM aggregates (n = 10). Independent two sample t-tests and Wilcoxon rank-sum test are performed between α values of ECGs and hiPSC-CM aggregates to obtain p-values. High p-values indicate that the values are drawn from a same distribution, hence, similar.
