Prediction Performances for the DREAM3 Networks.†

RPV-Z: relative performance variation with respect to the -score based method; RPV-B: relative performance variation with respect to the best team; ARPV: averaged relative performance variation of the 5 networks.†, which stands for the method with the optimal normalization parameter , generally can not be applied in actual estimations. The purposes to include its inference results here are only to make it clear that significant estimation performance degradation does not occur when the parameter deviates from its optimal value.*Due to some precision issues of the method suggested by the DREAM project organizers, these -values can not be distinguished from zero in actual computations, which makes it impossible to compare scores of the adopted GRN topology estimation methods.
