Fig. 2

Graphical comparison of algorithm-calculated RIs and standard RIs. A-E show the algorithm-calculated RIs (and their CIs) for thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), total triiodothyronine (TT3) and total thyroxine (TT4) in comparison to the standard RIs (and their CIs). The red vertical line indicates the standard RI calculated by transformed parametric method while the black vertical lines stand for the RI calculated by data mining algorithms. The CIs of the standard RIs and algorithm-derived RIs are shown by the horizontal red long dashed and the black short dashed line, respectively
