  1. Table shows average performance of various methods and parameters with artificial datasets. Scores A and B are explained in the main text. The five best methods are highlighted with bold and underlined in each column. The next five methods are underlined. Five weakest scores are represented in italics. Scores obtained with fixed class size represent the performance when the results are normalized with class specific permutation, whereas the results with varying class size show the performance without any normalization.
