Correlation of Symptoms and Signs Across all Viruses. Clinical signs or symptoms are listed by average frequency from the most to the least. Binomial test is used to assess the discrepancy between the observed proportion of symptom pairs and the expected proportion of symptom pairs which is the product of the two marginal distributions by assuming symptoms develop independently. Color cells represent differences that are significant at the 5% level, and the thickness of the cell wall represents the p-value (thin means 0.01 < p < 0.05; medium, 0.001 < p < 0.01; and thick, p < 0.001). The excess probability encoded by colors measures the effect size. If the observed proportion is lower than the expected proportion, the cell will be shaded by blue color, and red color otherwise.
