1. Minimum prevalence (proportion of jobs exposed) in cell to be considered exposed

2. Proportion of cells with non-null exposure in Lung and null exposure in PROtEuS

3. Proportion of cells with non-null exposure in PROtEuS and null exposure in Lung

4. Number of concordant exposed occupation-agent combinations

5. Kendall correlation in the probability of exposure between concordant exposed cells

6. Median difference in probability (probability in PROtEuS minus probability in Lung) across concordant exposed cell
