Table 3 Average performance of the algorithms on the four organisms using unfiltered (U) and filtered (F) attributes. The PPV (positive predictive value or precision), TPR (True positive rate or sensitivity), SPC (specificity or true negative rate), and AUC (area under the curve) values were calculated using the trained (voting) algorithm (actual values for all algorithms are given in Additional file 2)
