Performance as clade exclusion level is varied with overpredictions (see Methods for details) classified as correct. Sensitivity (a) and precision (b) on the MetaSimHC dataset of simulated 250 bp reads. Methods such as MEGAN4 which classify many reads at lower taxonomic levels see a considerable increase in performance, whereas more conservative methods such as CARMA3 see only a slight improvement. Performance is calculated based on proportion of reads appropriately assigned and averaged per genome (see Methods)
