Impact of the order (K) of Markov models in MetaBinG.

The impact of the order of Markov models (K) in MetaBinG has been tested. The K values various from 3 to 7. The sequence data sets are the same as in Table 2. Ten different sequence lengths from 100 bps to 1000 bps have been used for testing. Each sequence length contains 6,640 sequences. Each column is for a K value, which is the order of a Markov model. The total computing time (in seconds) and accuracy was measured as in Table 2. Each cell contains the total computing time and the accuracy separated by a “/”.For each sequence length, the best performance is in a bold font. K is set to 5 by default in MetaBinG.
