Comparison of performance of PPfold(20) and CentroidHomfold-LAST. 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 PPfold(20) and CentroidHomfold‑LAST).
Comparison of average Matthews Correlation Coefficients (MCCs) for PPfold(20) and CentroidHomfold-LAST. 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 PPfold(20) and CentroidHomfold‑LAST).
