Summary results for performance comparisons between SCOPE and its component algorithms, on all regulons. A "Win" is a regulon for which a program had the highest accuracy and that accuracy was at least 0.10. Programs in a two-way tie are credited with 0.5 wins each, so by construction, SCOPE can at best share a win with one of the other programs. A perfect winner-take-all ensemble method would have the same number of wins as all the component algorithms combined. A "clear win (loss)" is a regulon for which SCOPE's accuracy was at least 0.10 higher (lower) than the other program. The p-value reported for the paired t-test was Bonferroni-corrected to account for multiple (three) comparisons.
