Figure 1 Marker concentrations by study groups, showing the overlap in concentrations of the individual markers among the endometriosis (endo) and control groups.

Figure 2 Marker classification tree optimizing sensitivity. The class assignment of subjects in each node is shown under the node number. Class 0 is the control group, and class 1 is the endometriosis group. Bars give a graphical representation of the proportion of subjects from each group assigned to that child node. Splitting variables are shown in the parent node, with the cutoff for the split shown above the child node in gray. N = number of subjects.

Figure 4 Marker classification tree with 100% sensitivity. The class assignment of subjects in each node is shown under the node number. Class 0 is the control group, and class 1 is the endometriosis group. Bars give a graphical representation of the proportion of subjects from each group assigned to that child node. Splitting variables are shown in the parent node, with the cutoff for the split shown above the child node in gray. N = number of subjects.
