Patterns of the simulated data extracted by EPIG and CLICK. The four inter-groups (red, green, blue and black) from left to right in each pattern correspond to the inter-groups from 1 to 4 shown in Table 1. A) The patterns extracted by EPIG are labelled from 1 to 5 correspond to the distributions A to E, respectively. All profiles were categorized to their respective pattern. B) The pattern extracted by CLICK from Cluster 1 with 32 profiles assigned to it appears to have emerged from both distributions C and D in Table 1. The patterns for Clusters 2 and 3 correspond to distributions A and B in Table 1. The two clusters have 16 and 15 profiles assigned respectively.
