Table 6 Input data requirements. Requirements for the simulator input data used in microarray simulation.

From: Simulation of microarray data with realistic characteristics

data

Expression values or ratios measured for probes (genes). One value for each time instant per probe is required.

time

Time instants when the expression values are obtained.

genes

Names of the probes.

spot

Location of each probe on the slide (x and y coordinate).

name

Name of the dataset.

type

Type of the input data i.e. cDNA or oligonucleotide expression or ratios.

scale

Scale of the input data, i.e. log or linear scale.
