Table 5
Identification success based on “best match” and “best close match.”
| | Best match | Best close match | ITS | ITS2 | ITS | ITS2 |
| Correct identification (%) | 67.88 | 60 | 62.53 | 32.00 | Ambiguous identification (%) | 15 | 0 | 14.0 | 0.00 | Incorrect identification (%) | 17 | 40 | 7.28 | 0.00 | Without any match closer than 3.0% (%) | — | — | 16.20 | 68.00 |
