There were 282 association rules from the frequent itemsets satisfying both of the support and confidence requirements.
Thus, all peptides identifying a protein without additional support met the strict confidence requirements above and were manually verified.
To assess this concern, we evaluated the Positive Predicted Value (PPV = TP/ TP+FP)) for seven sets of reference genomes (All, Selected, Proteobacteria, Low GC Gram positive bacteria, High GC Gram positive bacteria, Motile, and Aerobic) for each of four different E-value thresholds across a range of similarity (confidence) requirements using EcoCyc and COG functional categories.
Generally speaking, post processing the output of any statistical model - i.e. ranking the predictions according to the signal strength and setting minimal confidence level requirement - is a widely accepted practice.
By avoiding long tails and outliers, they permit parametric statistics such as correlation, regression and principal component analyses to be applied, with greater confidence that requirements for linearity, additivity and even scatter of residuals (constancy of error variance) are likely to be met.
Only 9 of the differential spots analyzed did not match all the confidence identity requirements, and are indicated in additional file 15.
