Table 4.

The performance of nuclear protein prediction methods on 2213 human proteins (1526 non-nuclear and 687 nuclear).

Method Sensitivity PPV
(Probability of correct
prediction of nuclear proteins)
NucPred (0.8 threshold) 0.31 0.62
NucPred (0.5 threshold) 0.63 0.48
PredictNLS 0.23 0.63
PSORT II 0.70 0.47
NucPred (0.8) AND PredictNLS 0.17 0.73
NucPred (0.8) OR PredictNLS 0.43 0.57
LOCtree 0.63 0.59
BaCelLo 0.61 0.67
NpPred 0.83 0.63

PPV = Tp/Tp+Fp; Tp = True positive predictions; Fp = False positive predictions.
