From: Species abundance information improves sequence taxonomy classification accuracy
Classification accuracy when using the appropriate bespoke weights is largely explained by how often sequences from different from species are confused (Pearson r2 = 0.72, P = 1.3 × 10−4). The confusion index is the log of the expected level of taxonomic difference between two similar reference sequences weighted by the likelihood of observing similar sequences. All points calculated using 5-fold cross validation. Error bars are standard errors across folds. Regression confidence intervals are 95%. Source data are provided as a Source Data file
