The prediction performance for prioritizing disease causal miRNAs. a The ROC curves illustrating the performance in distinguishing causal miRNA-disease associations (as the positive samples) from the non-causal miRNA-disease associations (as the negative samples); only the top ten predictors in terms of AUROC are shown. b–d The violin plots for three predictors that show significant higher prediction scores (via Wilcoxon test) for causal miRNA-disease associations than non-causal miRNA-disease associations
