Per class misclassification error was lower in Class A (0–2 days) than in classes B (3–6 days), C (7–9 days) and D (> = 10 days). The dnldLDA routine was >97% accurate in predicting Class A. Misclassification errors in classes B, C, and D were high for all three routines, re-emphasizing the overlap shown in Figure 6 .
