Table 2 Prediction accuracies of the specialized predictors. The per-chain accuracies and standard errors were estimated via a 10-fold cross-validation procedure (see Performance evaluation). Using all 54 features, the two predictors were built as linear SVMs with parameter C, which represents the trade-off between training error and margin, set to 0.5 and 1, respectively. Default decision threshold of 0.5 was used for both predictors. SN S and SN L are sensitivities, or true positive rates, on short and long disordered regions, respectively. SP is specificity, or true negative rate, on ordered regions. ACC S is the overall accuracy for VSL2-S calculated as (SN S + SP)/2, while ACC L is for VSL2-L as (SN L + SP)/2.
