Hi Jarrod,

Thanks so much for clearing that up. Just to make sure I'm absolutely clear, 
if column 1 is 0.228, and column 635 is 0.092, than for data point #1 the 
probability option B is more likely than option A is 0.228 and C more likely 
than A is 0.092? Does this indicate that A (the reference value) is the most 
likely? Can I calculate its relative probability by subtracting the other 
two values from 1? I'm happy to assign the categories by hand, but I want to 
make sure I am interpreting the output correctly.

Thanks again,

Justine
