Analyses of Datasets 3–26 and Datasets 27–38 were performed using MAS- and RMA-preprocessed data, respectively, following the choice of preprocessing algorithm in the original papers. Accordingly, the average AUC value was calculated from those for Datasets 3–26 (MAS) and Datasets 27–38 (RMA). The best performing methods for each dataset is given in the additional file [see Additional file 1].
