Mean (%); standard error (%); the cut-off rank; the distance measure E, Mx, Mh, and C stand for Euclidean, Maximum, Manhattan, and Canberra distances, respectively; the cut-off similarity score; the weight factor of the mixture similarity score. The numbers in bold and italic indicate the maximum for each of the peak alignment methods.
