Discriminant ratio and corresponding confidence intervals of the analyzed indices of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.
The disposition index had been omitted due to a very low point estimate (0.12) and a failure to compute the confidence interval. The discriminant ratios and their confidence intervals, as well as the p-values of the tests of differences within groups were computed as proposed by Levy at al [32].
