Comparison of discriminative power in the real data-based simulation study. Figures show the percentage of correct and incorrect calls at various thresholds for six simulation settings. The AUCs are shown in Additional file 1: Table S2. a. 20 % genes are up-regulated and 20 % genes are down-regulated. Both platforms have high data quality. b. 20 % genes are up-regulated and 20 % genes are down-regulated. One platform has high data quality and the other platform has low data quality. c. 20 % genes are up-regulated and 20 % genes are down-regulated. Both platforms have low data quality. d. 10 % genes are up-regulated and 30 % genes are down-regulated. Both platforms have high data quality. e. 10 % genes are up-regulated and 30 % genes are down-regulated. One platform has high data quality and the other platform has low data quality. f. 10 % genes are up-regulated and 30 % genes are down-regulated. Both platforms have low data quality
