†each selection criteria was attempted to be optimized, independently, by performing 20 runs with 100% weight given to the respective selection criteria during each run. Results reported for each measure are independent of results reported for all other measures.
‡20 independent runs were performed with equal weight given to each of the seven measures in an attempt to maximize (minimize) all measures simultaneously.
