Comparison results of the different tests based on simulation 2. The average ranks of the target gene sets by Sub-GSE, GSEA, GSA and SigPath for different percentages of correlated genes and correlation coefficients in Simulation II. The left panel compares the average ranks in 2-D plots in which each subplot corresponds to one value of PCG. For a given PCG, the average ranks of the target sets from the four methods are plotted against the correlation coefficient between the correlated genes. The right panel shows the average ranks of the target sets versus the PCG and correlation coefficient in a 3-D plot. The four cubes correspond to Sub-GSE, GSEA, GSA and SigPath.
