Table 4 Summary of the test results for 3-sample sets. Results of the reproducibility test. The first and second column list the number of genes identified by the coincidence method for the interval 0.9 and 0.8, respectively, and the third column the number of genes that satisfied the two-tail t-test. The first row shows the mean number of genes that passed the test in complete set (four treated and four untreated samples, 12 coincidences out of 16). The second and third rows, first two columns, give the mean number of genes that passed in seven out of nine comparisons in three-sample sets and the mean of the genes passing concurrently in two particular tests, respectively; the third column shows the mean number of genes that passed the t-test in three-sample sets and the mean of the genes passing concurrently in any two particular tests, respectively, the fourth column corresponds to results obtained for the variance stabilization, fifth for the starred logarithm transformation, sixth for the CyberT method and seventh for the Tusher's calculations. The fourth row shows the ratio of the third row versus the second row in percent.
