Hierarchical classification of bacterial mass spectral profiles. (a) Hierarchical tree structure for the bacterial species analyzed, where color-coding represents species belonging to the same genus, as indicated in the legend. Grey-scaling indicates upper level hierarchies; (b) Plot of the mean % classification accuracies for 5 predictions at the different tree levels achieved by the selective classifier approach; (c) Semi-quantitative plot showing the classification performance at the lower-most/species level, as well as where misclassifications occurred. The inner circle indicates the actual species while the outer circle indicates the predicted class. Each column represents a genus while rows represent one or multiple species belonging to the respective genus. The overall color for the species in each genus corresponds to the color legend in (a).
