Table 1.

Accuracy of using mutation frequency or change in structural stability to predict viral infectivity in binary classification manner.

Predictor Sensitivity a Specificity b Precision c Accuracy d
Mutation Frequency e 59.5% 70.0% 67.10% 64.10%
Stability of Reference Models f 73.33% 78.72% 76.74% 76.12%
Composite Score g 80.00% 79.57% 78.16% 79.78%

a Sensitivity = (True positive)/(True positive + False negative); b Specificity = (True negative)/(True negative + False positive); c Precision = (True positive)/(True positive + False positive); d Accuracy = (True positive + True negative)/(True positive + True negative + False positive + False negative); e Mutations with a database frequency of 0.2% or less are predicted to result in non-infectious virus; f Mutants with structural stability higher than the reference models are predicted to result in non-infectious virus; g Mutants with a composite score (sum of ranks of frequency and FOLDEF stability) higher than 175 are predicted to result in non-infectious virus.
