Table 3 Results of 2 different group classification strategies (SVM and RFA) using statistically significant metabolites (p < 0.05). All values reported as misclassification rates (lower is better). A rate of approximately 0.5 is equal to chance alone. NSd: non-survivors discovery group. S: Survivor group C: Control group
