Comparison of methods using predictive performance. a A confusion matrix representation of the performance of a KNN (three nearest neighbors) classifier using the set of genes selected by the Seurat Wilcoxon method in the pbmc3k dataset. b Median F1 score of the KNN classifier using genes selected by all marker gene selection methods in the Zhao dataset. Each point is the F1 score in one of the 5 folds. c The z-score of the median F1 score of the KNN classifier (averaging across folds) in each dataset. Methods are ranked top to bottom by their mean z-score across datasets
