Fig. 6From: Classification and prediction of Mycobacterium Avium subsp. Paratuberculosis (MAP) shedding severity in cattle based on young stock heifer faecal microbiota composition using random forest algorithmsAccuracy of the samples classification into shedding groups. A and B show classification for samples from the different life periods: “Early”—younger than 12 month, “Middle”—from 12 to 24 month, “Late”—older than 24 months, and “All”—samples randomly drawn from all age groups. A Box-plot of AUC per life period group—every dot represents AUC obtained in a single permutation; **** level of significance corresponds to p < 0.0001. B ROC curves plot—thin half-transparent lines represent ROC curves of individual permutations and thick solid lines are median ROC curves per group. C shows the number of miss-classified samples per animal when all samples from the corresponding animal removed from the RF model training dataset and used as the validation; samples are faceted by shedding statusBack to article page
