Exploiting Identifiability and Intergene Correlation for Improved Detection of Differential Expression

Figure 1

Results for two variations of Case 1 experiments. In both variations, the number of truly differential genes, , and the “signal strength” (amount of up- or downregulation represented by and ) is weak. (a) Results for Subcase 1.1 in which the size of the gene-discovery list, , is small relative to ( ). The plot shows (left ordinate) and (right ordinate) values over 40 trials. (b) and results, plotted similarly to those of part (a) of the figure, for Subcase 1.2, in which , large relatively to ( ).
