Predictions of EGFR TKI sensitivity are denoted for ten cell lines used in training/validation. Column 2 demonstrates experimental sensitivity to an EGFR TKI, erlotinib (Table 1). Column 3 demonstrates prediction of sensitivity using mutational status of EGFR. Columns 4–6 denote prediction of sensitivity of the cell lines using the 10, 50, and 180 gene signatures in DLDA. √: denotes correct prediction based on experimental sensitivity to EGFR TKI. *: Leave-a-group-out cross-validation incorrectly predicts 3 of 8 replicates of this cell line.
