TABLE 2.

Statistical Comparison (by Rank Order and Distance) of Electrodes Highlighted by the GC Map (Based on Interictal Baseline Data) Compared With the Ictally Active Electrode (IAE) Set Identified From Ictal Data and Ultimate Resection. Individual Patients are Shown in Order of Rank Order Correspondence, with Best Correspondence (Lowest P value) at the Top of the List

Comparison of the causality ranking of the IAE set with the causality rankings of a set of the same number of electrodes selected by chance (by sum of the rank orders) Comparison of the distances of the 1 or 5 highest causality electrodes to the IAE set or RZ set compared with the corresponding expected distance of electrodes selected at random.
Patient number Rank order sum Rank order sum by chance Probability of obtaining observed value by chance Distance from highest causality electrode to IAE set (mm) Mean distance from top five electrodes to IAE set (mm) Expected distance of random set of electrodes to IAE set (mm) Distance from highest causality electrode to RZ set (mm) Mean distance from top five electrodes to RZ set (mm) Expected distance of random set of electrodes to RZ set (mm)
