Relative performance of MFE-based P-value estimations. The percentage of pre-miRNAs with a P-value smaller than indicated is plotted for data previously published [30], newly computed values from release 9.2 of MirBase based on the same method and computed based on the interpolation method developed here. The previously published percentages based on PE were 97%, 91% and 76%, respectively, whereas based on the release 9.2 it is 95%, 87% and 65%, and PN 96%, 93% and 87%, respectively.
