Figure 1

Effect of the weight ( w ) term in WAD statistic for 36 real experimental datasets (Datasets 3–38). AUC values for the weight term (w, light blue circle) in WAD, AD (black circle), and WAD (red circle) are shown. Analyses of Datasets 3–26 and Datasets 27–38 were performed using MAS- and RMA-preprocessed data, respectively, following the choice of preprocessing algorithm in the original papers. The average AUC values for their respective methods as well as the other methods are shown in Table 3. Note that WAD statistics (AD with the w term) can overall give higher AUC values than AD statistics.
