Computational analysis of core promoters in the Drosophila genome

Table 5 McPromoter results on the Adh test set

	Threshold	Sensitivity	Specificity	False-positive rate
McPromoter	0.98	19.5	69.2	1/106,647
	0.95	36.9	50.7	1/25,853
	0.9	52.1	40.3	1/12,016
	0.8	65.2	29.3	1/5,884
NNPP	0.99	21.7	13.5	1/6,227
	0.97	38.0	9.5	1/2,416
	0.92	53.2	6.3	1/1,096

Shown are the sensitivity, which is defined as the percentage of actual TSSs that were correctly predicted, the specificity, which is defined as the percentage of predicted TSSs that correspond to actual TSSs, and the false-positive rate per base. The last three rows show the results obtained with the system NNPP, as reported in [11].
