Table 3 Parameters used in the analysis of the results
From: An assessment on epitope prediction methods for protozoa genomes
Parameter | Brief description | Formula |
|---|---|---|
Sensitivity (Sn) | The proportion of correctly predicted binders | (a/(a + c))*100 |
Specificity (Sp) | The proportion of correctly predicted non-binders | (d/(b + d))*100 |
Positive Predictive Value (PPV) | The probability that a predicted binder will actually be a binder | (a/(a + b))*100 |
Negative Predictive Value (NPV) | The probability that a predicted non-binder will actually be a non-binder | (d/(c + d))*100 |
Accuracy | The proportion of correctly predicted peptides (both binders and non-binders) | ((a + d)/(a+b+c+d)*100 |
