The empirical cumulative density functions for all the studied geometric attributes are shown. All of the studied valves follow similar trends, which suggests that the acquired attributes can effectively characterize the chordal geometry. Nonetheless, a Kolmogorov–Smirnoff test revealed that one valve (MV2) exhibits significantly different attribute distributions, leading us to conclude that it belongs to a different family than the other 9 samples.
