From: Empirical comparison of cross-platform normalization methods for gene expression data
DWD applied to human sperm data with missing treatment groups. One treatment group was removed from each platform's data set before DWD was performed. Subtitles indicate the groups retained. Scrambled: Same as transfer, but parameters were randomly re-ordered before being used for cross-platform normalization. Self.transfer: Full human sperm data set was used for training. Transfer: MAQC data set was used for training. No.transfer: No additional training set was used. Boxes show the interquartile range and whiskers extend to an additional 1.5 times the interquartile range. Values outside the whiskers are plotted as circles. Notches are drawn such that non-overlapping notches are strong evidence of differing medians [61, 45]. Differences between all pairs are significant at the .05/n2 level, where n is the number of methods in each sub-figure (including controls), by two-sided Mann-Whitney U-test.
