Output Description

Distribution Analysis

Running this process for the DrosophilaAgingExample sample setting generates the tabbed Results window shown below. Refer to the Distribution Analysis process description for more information. Output from the process is organized into tabs. Each tab contains one or more plots, data panels, data filters, or other elements that facilitate your analysis.

The Results window contains the following panes:

Tab Viewer

This pane provides you with a space to view individual tabs within the Results window. Use the tabs to access and view the output plots and associated data sets.

The following tabs are generated by this process:

•

Kernel Density Estimates: This tab displays Parallel Plots of the kernel density estimates.

•

Box Plots: This tab shows Box Plots of the data.

•

Distribution Details: This tab contains Distributions, box plots, quantiles, and summary statistics for all variables in the input dialog for which distributions were requested.

•

Cumulative Plots: This tab shows two plots illustrate the relative contribution of the different genes to the total count data and enable you to estimate how much the top expressers are contributing relative to the rest of the genes. Note: This tab, is surfaced only when the Display Cumulative Percentage of Summary plots option is selected,

Moderate differences in variance and skew are seen in the distributions for these arrays, indicating that this data set likely warrants normalization before analyzing it further. You have the option for removing selected curves and generating a subset data set, on the Kernel Density Estimates tab.

Launch Follow-up Process

•

Data Standardize: Click Data Standardize to launch the Data Standardize process to standardize the data. The input for the Distribution Analysis process is preloaded as input into the Data Standardize process.

•

Correlation and Principal Variance Component Analysis: Click Correlation and Principal Components to launch the Correlation and Principal Components process to determine the correlation and principal components the data. The input for the Distribution Analysis process is preloaded as input into the Correlation and Principal Components process.

•
