The performance summary (MCR = Misclassification rate) of a SVM-based classifier for both the full dataset (“full”) and the trimmed dataset (“trimmed”) that underwent variable selection using a univariate moderated t-statistic. These are mean values based on 1000 bootstrap samples for each dataset except for the OC data which used 200 bootstrap samples.
