Table 4 Classification table of discriminant analysis. Predictive power of KIT, TC1, miR-222, and miR-146b for discriminating malignant from benign FNA. This procedure is designed to develop a set of discriminating functions which can help predict malignant vs. benign status based on the values of other quantitative variables; 51 cases were used to develop a model to discriminate among the two levels of malignant vs. benign; four predictor variables were entered. Amongst the 51 observations used to fit the model, 47 % or 92.16 % were correctly classified
