Methods & Data
Input

- Mutation data file = broad_values_by_arm.mutsig.cluster.txt

- Molecular subtypes file = LAML-TB.transferedmergedcluster.txt

- Number of patients = 191

- Number of significantly arm-level cnvs = 22

- Number of molecular subtypes = 6

- Exclude genes that fewer than K tumors have mutations, K = 3

Chi-square test

For multi-class clinical features (nominal or ordinal), Chi-square tests (Greenwood and Nikulin 1996) were used to estimate the P values using the 'chisq.test' function in R

Fisher's exact test

For binary or multi-class clinical features (nominal or ordinal), two-tailed Fisher's exact tests (Fisher 1922) were used to estimate the P values using the 'fisher.test' function in R

Q value calculation

For multiple hypothesis correction, Q value is the False Discovery Rate (FDR) analogue of the P value (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995), defined as the minimum FDR at which the test may be called significant. We used the 'Benjamini and Hochberg' method of 'p.adjust' function in R to convert P values into Q values.
