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.
