  1. For each method or measure the type of measure (“local”: local enrichment of positioning; “global”: global enrichment), the recall, precision, and F-measure is given for the artificial and real datasets, as well as a reference. Methods are sorted by decreasing F-measure obtained on the real datasets. (*) P value threshold 0.01; (**) P value threshold 0.001; (***) P value threshold 1e-4; ($) sig threshold 0; ($$) sig threshold 2.
