Parameterization

All patients

The model was parameterized to all patients without using any case or cluster-specific parameters. The values of the four constants were the means of the case-specific parameters over all patients

Each cluster

The model was parameterized to each cluster identified in the cluster analysis, using four cluster-specific parameters based on centroids values of the clusters

Each patient

The model was parameterized to each patient by using the four case-specific parameters defined by Dietz et al. [22]
