Correlation matrix of DNAm components (methylation patterns) and dimensions (MRPs). The mathematical representations of the MRPs are “dimensions”, and the gwDNAm patterns are “components”. Components 1–6 and 10 are strongly associated with confounders. We are unable to separate the biological variability of interest from that due to strong confounding in these components; thus, they will be dismissed. (As the sign of the correlation coefficient does not change the interpretation, it has been omitted for figure clarity)
