Table 3 The no-candidate test. This test was devised to measure the ability of our method to identify and discard incorrect pairs of AS events. Specificity was used as performance measure (equation 4). We observed that in both versions of the test the specificity of our method was better than that of the control method (see Methods section), indicating a better ability of the former to discard false positives.
