Summary

Introduction

One of the recent challenges of computational biology is development of new algorithms, tools and software to facilitate predictive modeling of big data generated by high-throughput technologies in biomedical research. Optimization and comparison of different prediction methods, selection and evaluation of importance of different features, and simple and efficient validation of predictors’ performance is crucial for successful application of machine learning algorithms. To assist in this task, PROPER provides visual monitoring of optimization and comparison of ranking classifiers.
