Performance of the greedy BTC method for Candida data. A) The greedy Best Total Coverage score for k = 1–10 model organisms, for the distances generated from all loci excluding AAT1a, is shown by the crosses. For each value of k the box and whisker plot indicates the quartiles (i.e. the box indicates those 50 % of the values closest to the median) and range for 1000 random choices of three strains. Total Coverage scores were produced by adding up the percentage of organisms represented at each of 20 threshold value intervals (0, 0.05, 0.10,..., 0.95 and 1.0); they are reported as a percentage of the maximum possible Total Coverage score. B) For each omitted loci the box and whisker plot indicates the quartiles and range for 1000 random choices of three strains. The score of the three greedy-BTC model strains are shown by crosses. C) Histogram showing the aggregate Total Coverage scores of 1000 random choices of three strains summed over the seven data sets, the arrow indicates the aggregate Total Coverage score for the BTC choices of model strains.
