Table 2 Print-tip lowess normalization. In two of the analyses (80.I.1 and 80.II.1, see Table 3), the percentage of DE-genes allowed to influence the lowess curve estimates was kept at five different levels; 0, 1,6, 11, and 40%. The latter was obtained when all DE-genes were included. For each analysis, the sensitivities at the 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5% FPRs were observed together with the reflected bias.
