Table 4 averaged cross-validation performance of FAM and SVM for 369 GO functions classified into 4 groups based on how informative they are. A GO function is said to be more informative if fewer numbers of genes are associated with it. N = number of GO functions in each group. H, MH, ML, L denote the 4 groups with high, medium-high, medium-low, and low levels of informativeness. For each GO function, the averaged cross-validation (CV) performance metrics of FAM and SVM are used. These (averaged) CV performance metrics are then averaged over all GO functions within each category. Notice that the last row is identical to that in Table 1.
