Table 1.

Rule-in and rule-out criteria from decision tree classification. When two criteria are stated, it is meant as a combined criterion. For the ADT group no rule-in criterion for PZ and no rule-out criterion for CG could be identified. The complementary two criteria are based on the TF Autocorrelation
