Short Description
A statistical analysis of mitochondrial test results from a clinic offering Nutritional therapy interventions for ME/CFS.
Full Description

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to investigate a panel test of markers of mitochondrial function in clients of a Nutritional Therapy clinic with ME/CFS.  Using results from both before and after a nutritional intervention a logistic regression models were constructed, and compared, that utilised either the extracted components and most highly loaded items on each component. 

Outcome
Subcomponents of the panel test were successfully identified and a predictive Logistic Regression Model was built that was able to discriminate between per and post test results.
