“…where + represents the total number of positive samples investigated, while − + is the number of positive samplesincorrectly predicted to be of negative one; − the total number of negative samples investigated, while + − the number of the negative samples incorrectly predicted to be of positive one. The set of intuitive metrics has been concurred and applauded by a series of recent publications (see, e.g., [14, 16, 57-59, 74, 82, 87-100] [83,[101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113][114]). It is instructive t point out, however, either the conventional metrics [84] taken from math books or the intuitive metrics of Eq.5 are valid only for single label systems (where each of the constituent samples belong to one, and only one, attribute or class); for the multi-label systems (where a sample may simultaneously belong to several different attributes or classes) whose existence has become more frequent in system biology [6,7,29,[115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133][134], system medicine [135,…”
