Their scores, as shown above, are calculated as the Kendall rank correlation coefficient between their rankings of the entire data set and the final reference ranking. A score above 0.436, achieved by 21 participants, is significant (p > 0.99), given the final reference ranking used here. The recipients of the scores marked with asterisks (*) have contributed the sources for their TWA analysis software for use and further study; they are available at http://physionet.org/challenge/2008/sources/ .
