Comparison of performance of PETfold_pre2.0(seed) and MaxExpect. 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 PETfold_pre2.0(seed) and MaxExpect).
Comparison of average Matthews Correlation Coefficients (MCCs) for PETfold_pre2.0(seed) and MaxExpect. 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 PETfold_pre2.0(seed) and MaxExpect).
