• Table 1: Event-Specific Exams

  ESS Cutscores for grand total scores of event-specific exams using the multinomial reference distributions with a one-tailed alpha = .05 for the lower limit of the Clopper-Pearson interval for positive and negative classifications (multiplicity-corrected subtotal cutscores in parenthesis).

  	2 RQs	3 RQs	4 RQs
  Respiration, EDA, Cardio	+3/-3 (-5)	+3/-3 (-7)	+3/-3 (-9)
  Respiration, EDA, Cardio, Vasomotor	+3/-3 (-5)	+3/-3 (-7)	+3/-3 (-9)

• Table 2: Multiple-Issue Exams

  ESS Cutscores for subtotal scores of multiple-issue exams using the multinomial reference distributions with a one-tailed alpha = .05 for the lower limit of the Clopper-Pearson interval without statistical correction for positive classifications and with statistical correction for negative classifications.

  	2 RQs	3 RQs	4 RQs
  Respiration, EDA, Cardio	+2/-3	+1/-3	+1/-3
  Respiration, EDA, Cardio, Vasomotor	+2/-3	+1/-3	+1/-3
