Change of N2MBW test results of 30 children after simulation with changed default algorithms for signal correction. Results of standard N2MBW test were compared to the test with changed setting parameter by Wilcoxon signed-rank test and marked as follows: ↓↓ difference of p < 0.001, ↓ p < 0.01, (↓)p < 0.05, ↔ no significant change, ↔↔ no change at all.
