  1. The table summarizes the performance (overall score, true positives (TPs), false positives (FPs) and false negatives (FNs)) of the different PG generation and TR algorithms when applied to the DREAM4 networks together with the displayed (optimal) parameters. The last column TP100 shows the average number of TPs within the first 100 top-ranked (reconstructed) edges. As a comparison, the scores of the 5 best-performing algorithms within the challenge are shown. PG2∗ denotes PG2 computed with a minor bug in the original implementation.
