(1) Features with p > 0.05 in the univariate analysis were excluded from the multivariate analysis. (2) The multivariate model was selected using backward stepwise deletion. (3) The variable “Number of channels at seizure onset” was not included in the multivariate model due–colinearity with the feature “Number of channels at seizure peak”.
