Extracellular calcium-sensing
HOW TO INTERPRET THE SCORES:
Subfamily Scoring:
The support vector machine for each subfamily is trained to score positive examples (members of the subfamily) as 1.0 and negative examples (non-members) as -1.0
If this sequence receives a negative score with respect to a subfamily, it is probably not a member of the subfamily.
If this sequence receives a positive score with respect to a subfamily, it is probably in the subfamily.
In general, the score's distance from zero gives you the confidence level of the prediction. Positive scores greater than +1.0 mean a classifier has strongly accepted your sequence. Negative scores less than -1.0 mean a classifier has strongly rejected your sequence.
For a more detailed evaluation of scores and confidence levels, take a look at Classification Statistics.
SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
There were 199 Class A Rhodopsin like and 19 Class B Secretin like and 2 Class D Fungal pheromone and 5 Frizzled/Smoothened family and 4 Nematode chemoreceptors and 4 Vomeronasal receptors (V1R & V3R) and 4 Class C Metabotropic glutamate / pheromone subfamilies whose classifiers were not run, because the families or subfamilies that contain them were rejected by classifiers higher in the hierarchy. For example, if the Amine receptor classifier scores this sequence negatively, it will not be checked with respect to the subfamilies of Amine receptors (Histamine, Serotonin, Dopamine, Octopamine and Acetylcholine (muscarinic) receptors).
Not all subfamilies have models yet. This sequence may be in a subfamily that has not yet been modeled.
