When, first, all 40 coherence variables were forced to enter DFA on the 2- to -4-year-old population of 301 subjects (C-group, n = 85; ASD-group, n = 216), group differentiation by Wilks' Lambda (0.210), with Rao's approximation (F = 24.50; df = 40,260; P < 0.0001) was highly significant. The C-group subjects were classified with 92.9% accuracy, the ASD-group patients with 99.5% accuracy.
