How to Group Genes according to Expression Profiles?

Table 8

Estimated mean, standard error, and lower (LB) and upper boundaries (UB) of a 95% confidence interval for the bias of each combination of method ( ), number of genes ( ), and number of treatments ( ). The table is sorted in descending order of bias within each level of and . True number of clusters: . Clustering algorithm: complete linkage.
