Protein-protein interactions are important for the majority of biological processes. A significant number of computational methods have been developed to predict protein-protein interactions using proteins’ sequence, structural and genomic data. Hence, this fact motivated us to perform a comparative study of various machine learning methods, training them on the set of known protein-protein interactions, using proteins’ global and local attributes. The results of the classifiers were evaluated through cross-validation and several performance measures were computed. It was noticed from the results that support vector machine outperformed other classifiers. This fact has also been established through statistical test, called Wilcoxon rank sum test, at 5% significance level.
