The 95% confidence intervals were calculated based on 10-fold cross-validation; DSP Scale 1: reported as Negative, Trace, 1 + , 2 + , 3 + , 4 + ; DSP Scale 2: reported as Negative, Trace, 10, 30, 100, 300, or ≥ 300; only the performance of the final pooled classifiers across Columbia University, University of Minnesota, and Vanderbilt University are summarized, for detailed breakdown of site-specific performance see Tables S1S5, and for additional validation studies and comparisons with recently published methods by Sumida et al.24, see Table S6.
