Furthermore, all alignment columns with more than 75% gaps were removed from the RNAalifold consensus folding procedure, since gaps are not excluded for the folding energies evaluation.
Repeat this double rolling and folding procedure twice more at 30-minute intervals, then chill the dough for an hour.
The replication process followed the two-fold procedure outlined above.
The same 10-fold procedure as was used for meter classification in step 1 is performed in order to assign a ballroom dance style to all instances in the dataset.
For the age estimation, that is a regression problem, the pairs predicted age/real age of the whole k-fold procedure were considered and the average estimation error (blue line) and the standard deviations (red lines) are reported on the left side in Figs. 8, 9, 10, and 11.
We remark that in this case a Leave-One-Out cross validation has been considered, since with the N-fold procedure misclassifications of single samples may vary at each realization.
In k-fold procedure, there is no overlap between test sets: each example of the original data set is used once and only once as a test example.
The robustness and appropriateness of each k-fold procedure can be assessed against several criteria; including bias, variance, sensitivity, completeness and computational cost.
Identical methodology to the 10-fold procedure was applied, except that the final consensus model comprised proteins selected more than four times among the eightfolds.
Body density was estimated using the skin-fold procedure according to Jackson et al, 34 using a skin-fold caliper (Lange, Beta Technology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) at the chest, abdomen, thigh, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac, and mid axillary points.
