  1. [1] = mean (SD); [2] = average feature prevalence relative to minimal expectance. Individual features can be part of several predictors to account for overlapping pathways. Thus, the total number of features and the number of unique features is given. Relative cluster prevalence indicates the recurrent selection of features for model generation. High values indicate high predictive relevance and stable contribution to model building (K = 5, R = 50).
