DIRECT vs. DCA. Accuracy of nucleotide-nucleotide contact prediction for all six RNAs in the testing set. a, b, c, d, e and f Comparison between DIRECT and mfDCA. The number of true contacts among the top predicted contacts is shown for each of the six RNAs. Except for 3VRS, DIRECT (blue lines) achieves 13% higher true positive on average than mfDCA (red lines) for true contacts among the top 100 predicted contacts. g, h, I, j, k and l Comparison between DIRECT and plmDCA. DIRECT (blue lines) achieves 11% higher true positive on average than plmDCA (red lines) for true contacts among the top 100 predicted contacts
