Comparison of performance of Vsfold5 and RNASLOpt. 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 Vsfold5 and RNASLOpt).
Comparison of average Matthews Correlation Coefficients (MCCs) for Vsfold5 and RNASLOpt. 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 Vsfold5 and RNASLOpt).
