Table 6 Summary of optimal set sources by statistical method
From: Evaluating the consistency of gene sets used in the analysis of bacterial gene expression data
Statistical methods | Consistency metric | Top 3 or 4 most optimal set sources |
|---|---|---|
Rank ordered differential expression; Gene set analysis on differential expression | s mean,diff | Predicted Operons, Paths, Scenarios |
Rank ordered absolute expression; On/off calling algorithms; Flux-balance analysis; Gene set analysis on absolute expression | s mean,exp | Predicted Operons, Paths, Scenarios |
Correlation of pairs of genes; K-means clustering; Regulatory Network Inference; Operon prediction | corr mean , PC 1 | Predicted Operons, Gene Ontology: Cellular Component Hierarchy, Paths, Scenarios |
