Figure 6

A Representative OPLS-DA loadings S- plot showing relative contribution of bins/spectral variables to clustering of Plasmodium vivax- infected patients and non-malarial fever patients. This plot corresponds to Figure 4. Each point in the figure represents a bin. The p(corr)[1] axis represents the correlation of the bin towards the predictive variation shown in Figure 1. The p[1] axis represents the magnitude of the spectral bins. Bins from region circled in red represents the bins that decreased in the P. vivax- infected individuals. Bins from region circled in black represents the bins that increased in the P. vivax- infected individuals. Among them, bins with high p(corr)[1] [< -0.4 for decreased and > 0.4 for increased], high p[1] (listed in Table 2) and VIP above cut-off are selected for further analysis.
