Comparison between RWRMTN and RLSMDA. The set of disease phenotypes and their associated miRNAs were collected from the miR2Disease database [45]. a MiRNA networks were constructed using the miRWalk database. b MiRNA networks were constructed using TargetScan database. Weight parameter α and restart probability γ were set to the optimal settings (α = 0.9 and γ = 0.7) for RWRMTN. For RLSMDA, we used the parameter settings (η M = η D = 1 and w = 0.9) reported in the study [33]
