Out of the 46 NPI categories, all four methods show significant results for six NPIs (consensus 4) while three methods agree on 14 further NPIs (consensus 3). We report the average normalized score, the observed reduction in Rt for the various methods and NPI importance for RF. Numbers in parentheses denote half of the amount by which the last digit of the corresponding number outside the parentheses fluctuates within the 95% confidence interval. source
