We can reject this hypothesis (with 95% confidence) if the CI for that pair of methods does not include the Wi for the corresponding column in the table.
The frequencies (and the respective percentages in brackets) refer to the number of hits shared and exclusively detected by the PG model against FREEC and cn.MOPS, where S PG-FREEC and S PG-cn.MOPS denote the hits shared between the respective pair of methods, E PG, E FREEC and E cn.MOPS denote the exclusive hits produced by the corresponding methodology in the respective comparison.
Percentages are in relation to the overall number of deletions and amplifications identified by the respective pair of methods.
This phenomenon was observed when the same pair of methods (weighted and unweighted pathway averaging) was used on the Wang data set, and the weighted method performed better in this case than the unweighted one.
Two of the modules, the Pairwise Comprehensive Scatter Plots Module (Pair-CSP) and the Pairwise Detailed Scatter Plot Module (Pair-DSP), compand and contrast a pair of methods at the same time, while the third, the Multiple Results Comparison Module (Multi-RC), can handle all the employed methods (more than two) at once.
Using the methods listed in Table 2 and a sample of articles we reviewed (references provided at the bottom of Table 2), we provide in Figure 3 the number of times each pair of methods was compared, with the diagonal entries giving the number of times a particular method was used in a comparison study.
For each pair of methods, the marks in the tables show how often the method on the corresponding row dominated the one on the corresponding column.
A new strategy for the embedded formula, using a pair of methods to estimate the local truncation error, as performed in traditional embedded Runge Kutta schemes, is proposed.
Chi-squared tests and Cohen's kappa coefficients were calculated, to determine the agreement between each pair of methods.
