Table 2.

Confusion matrices and performance metrics at different proteolytic contamination count scores

Peptide subsets and performance metrics PCC ≥ 0 PCC ≥ 1 PCC ≥ 2 PCC ≥ 3
Contamination marked as contamination (True Positive) 84 72 43 10
Ligand marked as contamination (False Positive) 416 28 2 0
Ligand marked as ligand (True negative) 0 388 414 416
Contamination marked as ligand (False negative) 0 12 41 74
Percentage of detected contaminations (Sensitivity) 100.00% 85.70% 51.20% 11.90%
Percentage of detected ligands (Specificity) 0.00% 93.30% 99.50% 100.00%

Table includes confusion matrices showing the number of peptides in each group (true/false positive and true/false negatives) as well as performance metrics (sensitivity and specificity) for contamination assignment at different proteolytic contamination count (PCC) scores using expert review benchmark EC500.
