Figure 6.

Multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) of the immune data. MDA was applied to the immunological data of meconium (blue circles), first week (red squares), third week (orange cross), and 2-year (green rhombus) feces, taking sampling time as the discriminant factor. The red cross represents the mathematical centroid for each sampling time group (meconium, first week, third week, and 2-year fecal samples). The first and second functions, which were plotted as the x and y axes, had a predictive power of 85% and internal axes (pink lines) match the zero values for both functions.
