Mean reaction time (RTs; in ms) followed by the Standard Error of the Mean (SEM) and mean proportion of errors (ERR; in %) followed by standard deviation (SD), depicted separately for same and switched additions (+) and subtractions (−), for the original symbol-switching task (from Experiment 1), the symbol-switching task with letters (from Experiment 2), and the stimulus offset condition from Experiment 2, where the letters offset upon response (Fast Offset).

μHP = HP mean; σ2HP = HP variance; μQT = QT mean; σ2QT = QT variance; DAY = daytime; NIGHT = nighttime; ASYMP = asymptomatic group; SYMP = symptomatic group. Results are reported as mean ± standard deviation. The symbol * indicates p<0.05 within the same group (i.e. ASYMP or SYMP) versus DAY. The symbol # indicates p<0.05 within the same period of analysis (i.e. DAY or NIGHT) versus ASYMP subjects.

Nonparametric estimates obtained with our method and parametric estimates of SI features (mean , standard deviation , median , and 95th quantile ) for different publicly available serial interval datasets. Values in round brackets correspond to confidence intervals for our method and confidence or credible intervals for parametric methods. The third column indicates the sample size. NR: Not Reported. The symbol * indicates that information was obtained by contacting the corresponding author of the article listed in the data source column.

μHP = HP mean; σ2HP = HP variance; μQT = QT mean; σ2QT = QT variance; NMC = non mutation carrier group; ASYMP = asymptomatic group; SYMP = symptomatic group. Results are reported as mean ± standard deviation. The symbol § indicates p<0.05 versus NMC individuals. The symbol ° indicates p<0.05 versus ASYMP subjects.

Mean reaction times (RTs; in ms) followed by the Standard Error of the Mean (SEM) and mean proportion of errors (ERR, in %) followed by standard deviation (SD) for same and switched addition (+) and subtraction (−) conditions, listed separately for the arithmetic task and the symbol-identification task of Experiment 1.

SD: standard deviation; ¥: the currency symbol of RMB; PCS: physical component summary; MCS: mental component summary.

Aggregate statistics (mean, (standard deviation) [minimum, maximum]) of daily entropy rate and limit of probability of different types of segments over 10 houses.

Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) for the outcomes at Time 1 and Time 2.

Notes: c - the generalized scale parameter of age dimension which characterizes the age of maximal incidence; m (m-stages) - the number of stages occurring during individual’s life and leading to the cancer diagnosis; n - the parameter running over different types of frailty distributions (e.g., n = 1 and n = 2 correspond to gamma-distribution and inverse Gaussian distribution); σ - characterizes the standard deviation of the frailty distribution (the distribution of cancer predisposition in population); Rsex and Rrace describe the relative risks of cancer incidence in females and in African-American population, respectively; and characterizes the percent change in cancer incidence rates for a 10-year period.
