Comparison between MAS4 and MOID.


MAS4
MOID

Mismatch used
Yes
No
Sensitivity to probe set size
Super-Olympic filtering is turned off when remaining probe number is less than 8.
Confidence intervals gradually increase as probe set size drops.
Relative error (Spiking tests)
30%
28%
Minimum of probes required (Spiking tests)
10
10
No-change test results (True fold change = 1.0)
80% of fold change values in [0.80, 1.34]
80% of fold change values in [0.92,1.22]
Normalization
Constant based on average intensity. Normalize once.
Allow both constant and curve normalization. Iterative scheme.
Problematic genes (Bright mismatches)
May underestimate expression level
May overestimate expression level
Expression Level
Average difference (may be negative). No confidence interval evaluations
Expression value (always positive) Lower bound and upper bound (with probe set size taken into account.
Present Call
A, P, M (discrete, unstable). Rules were derived from 50 μm and 24 μm feature arrays, may need update for 20 μm)
Continuous LogP
