Comparison of performance of PknotsRG and Multilign(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 PknotsRG and Multilign(20)).
Comparison of average Matthews Correlation Coefficients (MCCs) for PknotsRG and Multilign(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 PknotsRG and Multilign(20)).
