Figure 2: Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain(NDCG).
From: A large-scale benchmark of gene prioritization methods
NDCG looks at the relevance at position i in the candidate list and penalizes True Positives(TPs) retrieved late in the list. NDCG ranges between 0 and 1, where 1 is the ideal NDCG thus having the higher values to depict better performance. NDCG is represented as violin plots for different ranges of GO-terms, for each tool: MaxLink(blue), NetRank(green), NetWalk(orange) and NetProp(pink), and respective ontology: Cellular Compartment(CC), Molecular Function(MF), Biological Process(BP). Data points are represented as miniature boxplots within each violin.(a) 100% NDCG. NDCG for the full candidate gene list.(b) 10% NDCG. NDCG for the top 10% of the candidate gene list.(c) 1% NDCG. NDCG for the top 1% of the candidate gene list.
