Clustering of the training data. Shown is the heat map of the two-group (good- and poor-outcome) supervised clusters of the integrated training data for the 112 signature genes. Those genes which appear in multiple pairs among the 80 gene pairs in the signature will appear multiple times in the heat map. The total number of the rows is 160.

Clustering of the test data. Shown is the heat map of the two-group (good- and poor-outcome) supervised clusters of the test data (Pawitan) for the 112 signature genes. Those genes which appear in multiple pairs among the 80 gene pairs in the signature will appear multiple times in the heat map. The total number of the rows is 160.
