Here, N defines the total number of samples, TP defines true positive, TN defines true negative, FP defines false positive, FN defines false negative, SE defines sensitivity, SP defines specificity, ACC defines accuracy, and 95% CI defines 95% confidence intervals. Due to space restrictions, we represent the genomic grade index as GGI, 70-gene signature as 70 g, 76-gene signature as 76 g, 112-gene signature as 112 g, invasiveness gene signature as IGS, 21-gene signature as 21 g, and interactome-transcriptome integration as ITI. From the table, the IPRE algorithm achieved superior performance amongst others (as highlighted in bold) in the Desmedt dataset and the Vijver dataset.
