Table 6 By randomly choosing 10 subsets from each of the 5 datasets whose positive subset departs from the negative one greatly, we try to alleviate the bias between the value of sensitivity and specificity. Here we show the average results tested on Satron's dataset with cut-off value as 0.6. All the sub-datasets and results have been supplied in the additional file (see additional file 1 and additional file 3).

  1. Satron's dataset, cut-off value = 0.6. Record in the positive part before randomly chosen: 178; Records in the negative part before randomly chosen: 383. Each of the 10 randomly chosen subsets has 178 records as positive and 178 out of 383 as negative part. The pseudorandom numbers were generated by the java class of java.lang.Random.
