Table 2 - 64 statistical measures used to capture the features of each scatter P-plot. The scores have been assigned to callclusters on P-plot after UHT GetGenos software makes XX, XY, YY, or fail call for every signal. These 64 scores were then
combined to use as the input vectors for neural network training and for auto-classification of the new P-plots by the trained neural
network algorithm. x – the value of blue fluorescent intensity of the signal, y – the value of green fluorescent intensity of the signal.
PV = x/(x+y) is p-value of the SNP signal from one DNA sample that serves as the horizontal axis of the P-plot (Figure 1). logrf =
log10(x+y) is the measure of signal intensity that serves as the vertical axis of the P-plot (Figure 1). Measures of position (mean and
median), spread (standard deviation and q-range), skewness, kurtosis, and bimodal indices were calculated using standard formulas
from [10]. Separation of clusters was measured by differences and ratios of cluster center values. The Hardy-Weinberg Chi-square
(score in the row 60) was used to check the likelihood of the allele frequency occurring in the natural population. It was calculated
only when the total number of calls on the P-plot exceeds 25.
