“…Classification algorithms were used to separate the positive samples from the negative ones in each of the four datasets {D(Sc), D(Sp), D(Kl), D(Pp)}. This study utilized five classification algorithms to evaluate their capabilities of predicting DNA replication origins, i.e., support vector machine (SVM) (Weston, et al, 2001), random forest (RF) (Jang, et al, 2018;Li, et al, 2018), multinomial naïve Bayes (MNB) classifier (Pan, et al, 2018), gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) (Liang, et al, 2018;Wang, et al, 2019), and back propagation neural network (BPNN) (Rumelhart, et al, 1986).…”
