DESCRIPTION
This page provides download links for all the trained models related to the paper, as well as the preprocessed M-word scores and encoded features for reproducing the results. Each MLR model is the average of 10 models learned from 10-fold cross validation. PSSMs were information content calculated based on top 200 M-words for each TF.

M-word scores: Download
Each file contains three columns. The first column are the M-words. The second column are the relative affinity scores for the correspoinding M-words. And the third column are M-word counts.

Encoded features: Download
In each of the feature files, the first column is log2(M-word score). And the second column is constant 1. The rest of the columns are the encoded features. Naming of the features is as the following:
1mer features: *.10000000000
First-order MGW features: *.00010000000
First-order Roll features: *.00001000000
First-order ProT features: *.00000100000
