Abstract:
The Next-Generation (NG) IEDB Tools website (https://nextgen-tools.iedb.org) provides users with a redesigned interface to many of the algorithms for epitope prediction and analysis that were originally released on the legacy IEDB Tools website. The initial release focuses on consolidation of all tools related to HLA class I epitopes (MHC binding, elution, immunogenicity, and processing), making all of these predictions accessible from a single application and allowing for their simultaneous execution with minimal user inputs. Additionally, the PEPMatch tool for identifying highly similar epitopes in a set of curated proteomes, as well as a tool for epitope clustering, are available on the site. The NG Tools site allows users to build data pipelines by sending the output of one tool as input for the next. Over the next several years, all pre-existing IEDB Tools, and any newly developed tools, will be integrated into this new site. Here we describe the philosophy behind the redesign and demonstrate the utility and productivity enhancements that are enabled by the new interface.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
