Description
Remark

CTN
Ratio cutoff for inter-class ratios
Chosen based on the required magnitude of difference in expression between the two classes
CTT, CNN
Ratio cutoff for intra-class ratios
Chosen based on allowable heterogeneity in expression within a class
pcutoff
Significance value cutoff for significance of difference between the proportions of inter-class and intra-class populations greater than respective ratio cutoffs
Chosen based on required stringency in difference between the proportions of inter-class and intra-class populations greater than respective ratio cutoffs
