Table 4 Standard performance benchmarks for MutPred Splice based on an unseen test set of 352 variants (238 positive, 114 negative) using the three different iterations (Iter. 1, Iter 2. and Iter. 3) of the four different training sets identified in this study (Table  2 )

  1. Classification models were built using RF with 1,000 trees. The unseen test set was experimentally characterized with respect to the splicing phenotype. Performance benchmarks for the final classification model (Mixed negative set; Iter. 3) are highlighted in bold. Performance metrics where appropriate were calculated using a probability threshold (general score) ≥0.60. The Random SNP set is a control set. MCC, Matthews correlation coefficient.
