Taxonomy confidence
Taxonomy annotations
The format of a taxonomy prediction is the same as the names in a taxonomy annotation except that a confidence level is specified for some or all of the names. For example:
d:Bacteria(1.00),p:Firmicutes(0.98),c:Clostridia,o:Halanaerobiales,f:Halobacteroidaceae(0.75)
A confidence level appears parentheses following the taxon name and is in the range 0.0 to 1.0.
If a confidence threshold is used then a resolved prediction is generated which keeps only names with confidences meeting the threshold. For example, with a threshold of 0.9 the resolved prediction for the above example is:
d:Bacteria,p:Firmicutes
