Figure 2

Univariate comparison of clinical signs or symptoms between influenza subtypes. Symptoms or signs are ranked by average frequency over the study period. Empirical frequencies of presentation of each symptom or sign are presented in the right column as bars, with 95% confidence intervals represented by whiskers. Symptoms or signs that have statistically discernible differences in frequencies for pairs of strains at the 5% level are indicated in the significance matrix (SM) column. For instance, for a fever of 37.8 or above, pandemic H1N1 is significantly different from the other two strains, indicated by orange and blue cells in the SM in the row for H1N1-2009, and the grey cell in the rows for H3N2 and influenza B, but the latter have no statistically discernible difference, indicated by the white cells in their rows. With 63 tests, the conservative expected number of false discoveries is 3, assuming no differences at all between strains.
