Figure 1From: BicSPAM: flexible biclustering using sequential patternsCompleteness and variants of order-preserving biclustering solutions. Order-preserving biclusters have the power to capture flexible expression patterns – covering additive and multiplicative assumptions and additional profiles based on precedences and co-occurrences of expression values. They can be mined across rows or columns, and follow the or behavior (no differentiation between increasing and equality of ordered values) or the more specific xor behavior. A xor order-preserving bicluster requires that all of its rows share either an increasing or equality relation for the observed values of every pair of bicluster’s columns.Back to article page
