  1. 1 R p is the Pearson correlation coefficient between predicted and measured BA values of complexes in this protein-family-specific test set.
  2. 2 R s is the Spearman correlation coefficient between predicted and measured BA values of complexes in this protein-family-specific test set.
  3. 3 SD is the standard deviation of errors between predicted and measured BA values of complexes in this protein-family-specific test set.
  4. 4 RMSE is the root-mean-square of errors between predicted and measured BA values of the test complexes in in this protein-family-specific test set. Test RMSE is not available for conventional SFs except for X-Score that we have re-constructed. Training RMSE is not reported in this table because the values are very similar to RMSEtrain in Table 1 due to the overlap between the training data sets of the two experiments.
  5. 5 This indicates whether the test set complexes are disjoint from (D = Y) or overlap with (D = N) the training set complexes for NN and RF models. Any overlap between the training and test data of the conventional SFs is unknown (D = U) to us.
