Probes that have a high correlation, across all samples, either positive or negative with the Jensen-Shannon divergence to the average profile of a metastasis pattern are highly informative.
For example, a dot that is very close to the origin of coordinates (0,0) indicates a probe such that its pattern of gene expression (across all samples) is not correlated with the Jensen-Shannon divergence to the average profile of a metastasis pattern.
Measures of DNA divergence including the average number of nucleotide differences (k), nucleotide diversity (pi and pi JC)) for each population were computed.
The background level of divergence, Db, is the average level of divergence across all windows.
The prokaryotic datasets shown in Figure 1— prokaryotes, proteobacteria, gammaproteobacteria — encompass the same 48 genes, but because of their different phylogenetic depth, they span different levels of sequence divergence, the average pairwise identity being 32%, 48%and67%7% respectively.
Before we analyzed these components of our data, we conducted a functional ANOVA [40] to determine whether or not the divergence of the event-related averages for the Persist and Vanish conditions occurred at similar times for faces and animals across the three ROIs.
The divergence between the average discount of a fund for the past year and a fund's current discount gives the holder a sense of how far from the average discount the fund is trading and where that discount is likely to return.
Each divergence represents the average percent of mismatches in the reads.
Moving up from the root of the phylogeny, a mean disparity is calculated at each node (divergence event) as the average of the relative disparities of all lineages whose ancestral lineages were present at that point [ 91].
