Table 2 Subset of significant phenes resulting from feature selection after multiple-testing correction (supplemental Table S3) using CART in a cross validation scheme. Column Phene provides a short definition (for interpretation of the phene names see table panel B), which together with the operator OP and the threshold THR defines the model for classifying patients as tumor non-progression (distances are given in µm). ACC provides the cross-validated accuracy and NUM represents the frequency each phene candidate has been selected by the CART classifier over all cross validation folds. For interpretation of the phene names see Table 3.
