Table 2.

Scores for assessment of predictions. Tau, Kendall’s tau coefficient (Tau-b); spearman, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient; dele roc, area under ROC for detecting deleterious variants; wild roc, area under ROC for detecting benign variants; rmsd, root-mean-square deviation; pearson, Pearson correlation coefficient; value diff, area under curve of percentage of variants against the absolute difference between experimental score and predicted score of variants; mcc_dele, matthew correlation coefficient for deleterious variants; mcc_wild, matthew correlation coefficient for benign variants; f1, F-score for three classes (deleterious, mildly deleterious, benign) of variants. baseline: baseline predictor; positive: positive control.
