Influence of dataset size vs. predictive power of metadata for explaining electrophysiological measurement variability. Panels show different electrophysiological properties and lines show explanatory power of statistical model when using neuron type information only (black, solid line) or neuron type plus all metadata (grey, dashed line) as a function of randomly subsampling the original dataset to smaller sizes (on abscissa). Original dataset size indicated by subsample fraction = 1.0. Shaded lines indicate SD when resampling the dataset 25 times per subsampling size. Note that as dataset is subsampled to smaller sizes, explanatory power of the model that includes metadata is not greater than the model that includes neuron type information only.
