Figure 1.
Three-dimensional histogram representing the results of the in silico simulation. The x- and y-axes represent the mean specific lung elastance (k) of a single simulation and the associated P value, and the color intensity on the z-axis (vertical axis) represents the frequency of occurrences (%). The mean k values were calculated by averaging the different lung elastances from every random combination of the three selected k values and the 15 patients as described in the letter. As highlighted in the magnified inset, per every mean k, there is a Gaussian-like distribution of the histograms, and every single histogram reflects the behavior of that percentage of simulations with a specific k and the associated P value. The transparent purple cuboids superimposed on the three-dimensional histograms highlight the regions where the simulations resulted in a P value ⩽ 0.05.
