A Novel, Sensitive Assay for Behavioral Defects in Parkinson's Disease Model Drosophila

Table 1

Data mining analysis. An “if and only if” rule, composed of six conditions, was concluded using WizWhy 4.02. Improvement factor of 2.8 (relative to random prediction) was observed.

The following conditions explain when male fly is healthy:
(i) Non-Sexual Encounters occurs 3 to 5 times (average = 4.40)
(ii) Orientation time is 294.00–349.51 (average 320.84)
 & Total ritual time is 354.95–407.00 (average = 376.29)
(iii) attempted Copulations occur 3 times
(iv) Licking ig conducted 21 to 56 times (average = 34.50)
 & Non-Sexual Encounters occur 6 to 17 times (average = 4.40)
(v) Non-Sexual Encounters occur 1 to 2 times (average = 100.40)
(iv) Vibration of wings last 0 to 77.00 seconds (average = 15.72)
 & Non-Sexual Encounters occur 35 to 51 times (average = 43.43)
(iiv) Total ritual times is 516.58 to 519.91 (average = 517.94)
When at least one of the conditions holds, the probability that male fly is healthy equals 0.821
(23 out of 28 cases)
When all the conditions do not hold, the probability that male fly is not healthy equals 0.821 (23 out of 28 cases)
The total number of cases explained by the set of conditions: 46
The total number of cases in the data: 56
Success rate: 0.821(46/56)
Assuming that the primary probability for a male fly to be healthy equals 0.5 we obtain an
Improvement Factor  of 2.800    (0.500/0.179)
