Cross-validated PLS-DA modeling statistics for the prediction performance for species discrimination between M. pneumoniae and nine other human commensal and pathogenic mycoplasma species individually.

For species discrimination, three categories were incorporated to cross-validate the model: either category 1: growth medium control (GMC); category 2: M. pneumoniae (M129); or category 3: other mycoplasma species in question. Eight spectra from each category were of known class and two spectra from each category were treated as unknowns to generate a cross-validated prediction model. Cross-validated sensitivity, specificity, and class error were based on the classification prediction score for each category.Cross-validated PLS-DA modeling statistics for the prediction performance for species discrimination between M. pneumoniae and nine other human commensal and pathogenic mycoplasma species individually.
