| Strength | Weakness |
---|---|---|
Association | • Fast in implementation • No need to pre-determine parameters •Results can be easily validated by hand calculation | • Unsatisfactory in predictive power •Does not consider the structures all relevant protein-module associations as a whole •Do not have control for possible over-prediction of associations between frequently occurring domain-disease pairs |
MLE | • Good in predictive power •Fast in implementation •Take into account the structures all relevant protein-module associations as a whole | • Need to pre-determine parameters •Do not have control for possible over-prediction of associations between frequently occurring domain-disease pairs |
DPEA | • Satisfactory in predictive power •No need to pre-determine parameters •Have control for possible over-prediction of associations between frequently occurring domain-disease pairs | • Slow in implementation when the number of candidate domain-disease associations is large |
Bayesian | • Excellent in predictive power •Take into account the structures all relevant protein-module associations as a whole | • Slow in implementation when the number of candidate domain-disease associations is large •Do not have control for possible over-prediction of associations between frequently occurring domain-disease pairs •Failure when the log-concave conditions of parameters are not satisfied |
PE | • Satisfactory in predictive power •Only one pre-determined parameter •Have control for possible over-prediction of associations between frequently occurring domain-disease pairs | • Slow in implementation when the number of candidate domain-disease associations is large |
