SHscore independence from mean CNA size and mean gained copies. We tested the SHscore on multiple simulated sample pairs, characterized by a different and known mean CNA size \(\theta\) and mean number of gained copies p. We found out that the SHscore is uncorrelated to those features with a Pearson correlation coefficient c = −0.101 (p value =  0.319), for the mean CNA size, and c = −0.109 (p value = 0.282), for the mean number of gained copies
