Species assignments for rust fungi (BOLD project CHITS) based on ITS sequences for 484 random queries using DV-RBF and FJ-RBF methods.

a: Two categories of randomization were performed in this study. One is random splits which were conducted at species level (5 times) and the other is n-fold cross-validation which was performed on the whole dataset ( was used). 484 random queries were generated based on the original 107 rust fungi ITS sequences, see text and Online Appendix III for details.
b: The names of query sequences consist of BOLD sequence accession numbers (a dash was removed before the last two numbers) and their true species names. Only part of the results were presented here, see Online Appendix III for all 484 queries and corresponding assignments (singletons were excluded since they can only be assigned to the wrong speices).
c: DV denotes DV-Curve, RBF indicates RBF neural network, see text for details.
d: FJ denotes FJ-Curve.
e: Ticks and crosses indicate correct and wrong assignments respectively.
