Results obtained for C-linked glycosylation using single SVM from unbalanced data (singleSVM), ensemble of SVMs (EnsembleSVM), and single SVM from balanced data (BalancedSVM) for the classification threshold θ = 0.5 on the output probability of the classifier. The classifiers are trained on information derived from the target amino acid residue and its sequence neighbors.
