Figure 4

Example of detection p-values and localization distances. The left plot of the detection p-values and localization distance (in DNA bp) for one data set shows that QBlossoc and LSS are picking up different associations during simulation. In the left plot, values in the upper left and lower right corners of the plot show associations detected only by LSS and QBlossoc, respectively. Seven observations fall in the upper left corner, while two observations fall in the lower right corner of the plot. The sixty-five observations in the lower left corner were detected by both methods, while the remaining twenty-six observations were detected by neither method. The right plot shows the associations better localized by LSS and QBlossoc in the upper left and lower right regions, respectively. Twenty-three observations were better localized by LSS and forty-three observations were better localized by QBlossoc.
