  1. a Level: The number of features selected in each recursive step. With all of the 1000 features, there is no difference between R-SVM and SVM-RFE because no feature selection happened.
  2. b ReduceSV: Relative reduction in the mean number of support vectors used by R-SVM comparing to that by SVM-RFE, calculated as: (average #SVSVM-RFE - average #SVR-SVM)/(average #svSVM-RFE).
  3. c P(sv-diff): The p-value of the observed difference in numbers of SVs, by paired t-test.
  4. d ReduceTest: Relative reduction in the mean test error rates of SVM models with R-SVM-selected features comparing to that with SVM-RFE selected features, calculated as: (average TestErrorSVM-RFE - average TestErrorR-SVM)/(average TestErrorSVM-RFE).
  5. e P(test-diff): The p-value of the observed difference in test error rates, by paired t-test.
  6. f ImproveRec: Relative improvement in the proportion of recovered informative genes by R-SVM than that by SVM-RFE, calculated as: (average #RECR-SVM - average #RECSVM-RFE)/(average #RECSVM-RFE), where #REC is the number of recovered true informative genes with the method stated in the subscript.
  7. g P(rec-diff): The p-value of the observed difference in proportion of recovered true informative genes, by paired t-test.
