Evaluation methodology

Cell-type–perturbation combinations with responses available across donors. A subset of complete combinations is held out for testing; models are fitted separately for each donor. Gene-expression R-squared is contrasted with precision–recall evaluation of differentially expressed genes. Cell-type-only, perturbation-only and two-factor linear models, plus SI-A. Complete cell-type–perturbation combinations are held out. Models are fitted separately for each donor, so this is not an unseen-donor generalization test.

review date: 2026-09-17; rationale: This source-scoped record identifies the biological prediction task and holds its paper context. Preserve the existing task identity; exact split, model adaptation and scoring remain in linked evaluations or separate protocol records.; source ids: insilico-perturbation-auprc-2025; source locator: Methods: In silico models and evaluation of performance; cached text lines 100–103; ambiguities: A paper- or suite-specific task may constrain some inputs or metrics; that alone does not make it interchangeable with a complete versioned protocol. No protocol equivalence is inferred.; Some legacy profile Entity type facts use the generic phrase computational evaluation protocol. That boilerplate is not sufficient to establish a single fixed protocol identity or to merge this task with another protocol record.
