Quasiperiodic system is an intermediate state between periodic and disordered systems with unique delocalization-localization transition driven by the quasiperiodic potential (QP). One of the intriguing questions is whether the universality class of the Anderson transition (AT) driven by QP is similar to that of the AT driven by the random potential in the same symmetry class. Here, we study the critical behavior of the ATs driven by QP in the three-dimensional (3D) Anderson model, Peierls phase model, and Ando model, which belong to the Wigner-Dyson symmetry classes. The localization length and two-terminal conductance have been calculated by the transfer matrix method, and we argue that their error estimations in statistics suffer from the correlation of QP. With the correlation under control, the critical exponents $ν$ of the ATs driven by QP are estimated by the finite size scaling analysis of conductance, which are consistent with $ν$'s of the ATs driven by the random potential. Moreover, the critical conductance distribution and the level spacing ratio distribution have been studied. We also find that a convolutional neural network trained by the localized/delocalized wavefunctions in a disordered system predicts the localized/delocalized wavefunctions in quasiperiodic systems. Our numerical results strongly support that the universality classes of the ATs driven by QP and random potential are similar in the 3D Wigner-Dyson symmetry classes.
