The table demonstrates the randset feature sets and the classification performance achieved with a linear classifier and leave-one-out cross-validation, in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Here, sensitivity refers to SIRS, and specificity refers to sepsis or septic shock, respectively. The results are presented for sign_m and sign_mdetr, separately. Both univariate models for the best feature selected, and multivariate models, are depicted. WE, wavelet energy; Wen, wavelet entropy; CWT, continuous wavelet transformation; s, scale; entro4, entropy per scale 4.
