The table displays an excerpt of the LOO XERp results. The table is sorted in descending order of the second column (“% Selected”), i.e. the percentage of times a variable (as listed in the first column under “Variable”) was selected out of the $N=N_0+N_1$ LOO iterations. In addition, the table reports the specificity (accurate classification of control subjects) and sensitivity (accurate classification of experimental subjects) percentages in columns 3 and 4, as well as the overall classification accuracy in column 5. Columns 6 and 7 contain the threshold values averaged over all instances the variable was selected (“Average Threshold”) and the direction of the shift found to be significant (“Direction”)
