Comparison of performance of CentroidHomfold-LAST and RNAalifold(20). Positive Predictive Value (PPV) is plotted against sensitivity. Each dot represents a single test of each method. See tables below for raw data (individual counts for CentroidHomfold‑LAST and RNAalifold(20)).
Comparison of average Matthews Correlation Coefficients (MCCs) for CentroidHomfold-LAST and RNAalifold(20). The whiskers correspond to 95% confidence intervals (CIs). 'n' denotes the number of MCCs used to calculate average MCCs and CIs. See tables below for raw data (individual counts for CentroidHomfold‑LAST and RNAalifold(20)).
