Table summarizes the results utilizing different approaches around the above prognostic datasets. It can be noteworthy that kTSP is invariably much less robust on this type of data, consistent with previous observations (unpublished data), even though it does seem that its functionality improves as sample size increases. In the van’t Veer breast cancer dataset, k-TSP+SVM substantially improves the efficiency, which only makes two errors on the -case test set, reaching an 
error rate of, as compared towith k-TSP andwith SVM alone. Within the other datasets, nonetheless, the extent of improvement of k-TSP+SVM over k-TSP seems to become related to sample size.
