From: p53, cathepsin D, Bcl-2 are joint prognostic indicators of breast cancer metastatic spreading
PLS-DA score plot and VIP scores. a PLS-DA score plot showing the clustering of tumor samples with (green perimeter) or without (red perimeter) metastatic relapse. Complete separation between the green versus red clusters was achieved. Clustering thresholds were applied as indicated in Methods. b Variables able to discriminate between metastatic and non metastatic tumors are presented, as ordered by VIP score. VIP scores ≥ 0.8 (above the red line) identified key variables for predicting Y responses (relapse)
