Fig. 3

Stability of feature lists over LOOCV iterations. Jaccard distances and Kendall’s τ were calculated for pairs of feature lists for the 50 most important features of each dataset. Dots and error bars represent average values and standard deviations of values, respectively. At maximum distance, the Jaccard distance and Kendall’s τ would assume a value of 1 and −1, respectively. Both feature lists are rather stable, however, the feature lists of the Prokaryote datasets are more stable than their Eukaryote counterparts
