Assessment of partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) with variable importance of projection (VIP) scores for relative bacterial abundance in ICP and control groups. a The PLS-DA score plots showing model discrimination between ICP and control groups. b The VIP plot indicating the most discriminating bacteria in the descending order of importance. PLS-DA and VIP scores were assessed using MetaboAnalyst 3.0. Ellipses represent 95% confidence intervals for each group on PLS-DA plots. VIP scores reflect the degree of importance of a bacterium, with values > 1.6 seen as driving the calculated discrimination
