ROC-like curves for the reduced MAQC data set. ROC-like curves for the seven non-discrete cross platform normalization methods are applied to the reduced MAQC data set. Horizontal axes represent false discovery rate (FDR), while vertical axes represent the proportion of genes found to be differentially expressed between treatment groups A and B. Horizontal and vertical lines represent the areas used to compute under-detection (u) and over-detection (o), respectively, although no substantial areas of vertical lines are visible. The "union INT DWD" and "intersection INT DWD" curves represent the intersections (in the sense of gene sets) of the red curve with the yellow and green curves, respectively.
