Comparison of test statistics.

Abstract

<p>(A) Pearson’s correlation coefficients in the continuous analysis were compared to fold-changes in the dichotomous analysis to evaluate overall similarity in direction of changes between two analytical methods. The number in each quadrant represents the percentage of probes relative to all probes analyzed. (B) Significance levels in the continuous analysis (−log10(Pearson’s test p-value); X-axis) were compared to those in the dichotomous analysis (−log10(Student’s t-test p-value); Y-axis) in order to evaluate overall similarity in significance between two analytical methods.</p
