Run times of data sets for BHC-SE and BHC-SE with a mixture model likelihood in hours (h), minutes (m) and seconds (s) on a 2.40 GHz Intel Xeon CPU. The run times for BHC-C were very similar to BHC-SE. Using replicate information did not increase the run times. Also shown are the number of genes, time points and replicates for each dataset.
