“…It is important to note that when a cross-check is made using another classification method such as principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis [5], the members 132 and 174 from clusters 1, and 88, 91, and 99 from cluster 2 1 are also misclassified, in perfect agreement with our SPC result, although there is a disagreement with the members 86, 92, 98, 100, 101, and 102 from cluster 2 2. Despite this disagreement in cluster 2 2, the method SPC, based on concepts of statistical physics and stochastic aspects, has high sensitivity and specificity consistent with the number of control patients and the number of patients from the health centers detected with high glucose concentrations.…”
