Values are given in Median ± IQR (inter quartile range). Results corresponding to different analyzing protocols are listed in columns A, B, and C, respectively.

^†: p < 0.001.

^aInterictal significantly different (p < 0.001) from Normal.

^bIctal significantly different (p < 0.001) from Normal.

^cIctal significantly different (p < 0.001) from Interictal. The p-values are indicated by Mann–Whitney U-test. Strings next to feature index indicate the significant levels for all three analyzing protocols, e.g., the string

^†,†,†indicates p < 0.001 for protocols A, B, and C. Feature index 1, 2, … , 20 indicate the [m, τ] combinations [2, 8], [2, 9], … .,[5, 12], respectively.
